The Best of Enemies

Change is worth fighting for

A historical drama about unlikely reconciliation between a civil rights activist and a Klan leader, grounded in the genuine possibility of human transformation across ideological divides.

Centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater, an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis, 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.
