Based on a true story The Best of Enemies centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson) an outspoken civil rights activist and C.P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell ) a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit battling over the desegregation of schools in Durham North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971. The incredible events that unfolded would change Durham and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever. [Metacritc]
