Enemies Unite in ‘Best Of Enemies’
‘Best Of Enemies’ chronicles a little known story of how two intractable community leaders come together to carve out a new future for their city after decades of Confederate traditions.
In 1971, when discussions about how to integrate their school system break down, the community of Durham, North Carolina agrees to bring in Bill Riddick(Babou Ceesay) to conduct a series of summits(charrettes) to help them move forward with desegregation.
Ann Atwater(Taraji P. Henson) is a tenacious activist for equality on issues such as housing and education. It is the latter that grabs her the most as she fights to better the conditions of the local schools. This single, African-American mother uses her influence to rally Durham’s Black populace to affect change and defy the racist municipality. She has no qualms about going toe-to-toe with city officials in advocating for her community.
