Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal is a 2015 documentary by Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville, which looks at a series of televised debates in 1968 between liberal Gore Vidal and conservative William F. Buckley.
This political battle attracted millions of viewers in the run-up to the presidential nominating conventions of 1968. All the events were broadcast live and were both whitty and vicious, marking a change in how left and right politics would be fought in the United States. The Best of Enemies ultimately aims to answer; 'What has television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?'
