THE BEST OF ENEMIES: The unlikely, but true story, of a black civil rights activist Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson) and her meeting with a Ku Klux Klan president for the local chapter in Durham, North Carolina. The Klansman, C.P. Ellis is portrayed by Sam Rockwell who is fast becoming one of my favorite actors (Oscar for "Three Billboards..." and a splendid George W. Bush in "Vice"). When the two are thrown together to co-chair a community summit on desegregation of schools, they are as far apart as two sides can be, but through the course of the film, they come to know each other and even gain respect fore each other. Although the film is a little long and a bit predictable, the ending is a gem and worth seeing.
