Review

documentary about the vidal vs. buckley debates, and the people/politics behind them. interesting look back at an event that i knew nothing about. i knew of the two separately and i may have even heard of them butting heads, but i didn’t understand the true nature of this debate until watching the film. if you’re a political junkie then it’s worth the watch, otherwise i’d skip it. interesting to see how things have/haven’t changed. they were very much at each other’s throats and were pretty nasty, but it was also a pretty substantive debate overall.
