[Durham INC] “The Best of Enemies” film special screening

[Laura Drey]

TUESDAY, MARCH 19 | 7 PM (TICKETS ON SALE) 
“The Best of Enemies” feature film based on book about the true story “The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South.”
STXFILMS AND THE BEST OF ENEMIES PREMIERE COMMITTEE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT THE BEST OF ENEMIES — DURHAM SPECIAL SCREENING AT THE CAROLINA THEATRE ON TUESDAY, MARCH 19. 
The movie is based on a true story about the extraordinary relationship between Ann Atwater (Henson), a fearless and outspoken civil rights activist who faced off against C.P. Ellis (Rockwell), a local Ku Klux Klan leader, to blaze a path toward school desegregation in Durham in 1971. Through an incredible series of events — and against all odds — these two people with very different views and backgrounds formed an unexpected friendship that ultimately led to large scale social change.
