Um documentário sobre a lendária série de debates, transmitidos pela TV nacionalmente em 1968, entre dois grandes intelectuais públicos, o liberal Gore Vidal e o conservador William F. Buckley Jr. Produzidos para comentar as questões de seu dia-a-dia, esses encontros ácidos e explosivos vieram definir a era moderna do discurso público na mídia, marcando o momento da grande explosão de nossa paisagem de mídia contemporânea quando o espetáculo superou conteúdo e o argumento substituiu a substância. O Melhor dos Inimigos mergulha nas biografias emaranhadas desses dois grandes pensadores e nos presenteia com a linguagem e o teatro de seus debates, nos impondo a pergunta: "Quanto a televisão determinou na forma como discutimos a política hoje em nossa democracia?" (e 16 - Estimado 16 Anos)

New York in the Fifties is the story of a unique time and place, when New York was the hotbed of new artistic expressions, free love, drinking, hot jazz, and radical politics.
The film combines stunning archival footage of New York with interviews and footage of icons of the day-Kerouac, Ginsberg, Baldwin, Mailer, Basie, etc. Offering modern day perspective and reminiscences are writers, actors, and artists such as Joan Didion, Robert Redford, Nat Hentoff, Gay and Nan Talese, John Gregory Dunne, William F. Buckley, and Calvin Trillin-all part of the rich cultural and artistic scene of the time. Based on the best-selling book by Dan Wakefield, the film also traces Wakefield's restless rebellion in conformist Indianapolis, and his escape to New York with dreams of writin ga novel, falling in love, meeting like-minded souls and questioning the meaning of life.
