Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville co-direct this documentary about the televised American debates between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley Jr. Beginning during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the liberal and conservative writers and commentators clashed over issues including the city's police, the convention's protestors and the freedom-of-speech-right of Americans. As the pair commented on the issues of the day, over the course of their debates, their discourse became increasingly explosive and hostile and the substance of their arguments lost.

Theater of Shopping tells the story of retail visionary Stanley Whitman and the creation of Bal Harbour Shops, the most successful luxury fashion shopping centre in the world*, and one of the last family-owned malls in America. Written by critically acclaimed author Alastair Gordon, Theater of Shopping is a cultural history of both a place and a personal legacy. The open-air mall opened in 1965 as a pedestrian-friendly environment that turned shopping into a kind of theatrical event, while featuring the work of young design talents like Valentino, Versace, Mugler, de La Renta, and other foreign designers who were unknown in America before first showcasing their collections at Bal Harbour Shops. The text weaves together fashion, luxury commerce, architecture, landscape design, urban development, and family history, to create a highly readable narrative illustrated with more than 300 images including never-before-published drawings, plans and photographs by renowned photographers including Richard Avedon and Ezra Stoller.
