Description

David Harewood and Zachary Quinto play feuding political rivals in James Graham's (Sherwood) multiple-award-winning new drama.

In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal. During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation. As beliefs are challenged and slurs slung, a new frontier in American politics is opening, and television news is about to be transformed forever.

Jeremy Herrin (All M directs this blistering political thriller, filmed live in London's West End.
