STX Films has debuted the first poster and trailer for Robin Bissell’s directorial debut The Best of Enemies. Based on Osha Gray Davidson’s book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South, the civil rights drama sees Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell leading a cast that includes Babou Ceesay, Anne Heche, Wes Bentley, Bruce McGill, John Gallagher Jr., and Nick Searcy; take a look here…
Based on a true story, THE BEST OF ENEMIES centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater (Henson), an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis (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.
