SAB presents The Best of Enemies. The Best of Enemies is the true story of the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater, an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis, a local Ku Klux Klan leader. During the racially charged summer of 1971, Atwater and Ellis come together to co-chair a community summit on the desegregation of schools in Durham, N.C. The ensuing debate and battle soon lead to surprising revelations that change both of their lives forever.

The film centers around themes of racial reconciliation and features the nonviolent discourse which Martin Luther King Jr. sought to bring about in America.
