THE BEST OF ENEMIES
By Mark St. Germain
Based on The Best of Enemies by Osha Gray Davidson
Directed by Julianne Boyd
with  Don Guillory, Aisha Hinds, John Bedford Lloyd, and Susan Wands

Based on the best-selling book by Osha Gray Davidson, The Best of Enemies is a true story about the relationship between C.P. Ellis (a Grand Cyclops of the KKK) and Ann Atwater (an African-American civil rights activist) during the desegregation of the Durham, NC schools in 1971. The Best of Enemies exposes the poison of prejudice in the hearts of Atwater and Ellis who, by facing each other, are forced to face the worst, and best, in themselves.

Recommended for mature audiences due to strong language.
