Anything else, I’m going to guess you already know going in. A charrette (I didn’t know either) is a working group of stakeholders convened to solve a problem. At issue in The Best of Enemies – set in Durham, N.C., in 1971 – was that a fire in the town’s all-black school led to talk of integration. Out-of-towner Bill Riddick (Babou Ceesay) decides to make these two the co-chairs of the charrette, which Rockwell’s character derides as a charade. And of course, working closely with one another, darned if they don’t both start to see the other’s point of view.
