MLK Action Committee Presents: The Best of Enemies

Join us in partnership with the MLK Action Committee for a screening of Best of Enemies, The film is based on the true story of Black civil rights activist Ann Atwater and KKK leader C.P. Ellis, who are brought together under tense and trying circumstances but eventually find their way to respect and a lifelong friendship.   In celebration of Black History Month and recognition of the potential polarization of the coming election cycle, this is a film that everyone should see.  Ticket sales will, in part, benefit the MLK Action Team and the racial justice advocacy arm of the Nauset Interfaith Association.  A short 15-minute introduction will commence prior to the screening.

“A rock-solid movie: squarely deliberate, a little long and predictable, but honest and thoughtful enough, precise in its period and locale, with very strong performances.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
