This FREE screening of THE BEST OF ENEMIES (2019) is sponsored by the Springfield Sigma Nu Lambda Alumni Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc and NAACP Springfield MO in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be a discussion with members of the Springfield community following the screening.

Based on a true story, The Best of Enemies centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson), an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell ), a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, battling over the desegregation of schools in Durham, North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971. The incredible events that unfolded would change Durham and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever. [Metacritc]
