THE GREAT DEBATERS

THE GREAT DEBATERS is a drama, based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.

Marking the second directing effort from Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington, THE GREAT DEBATERS stars Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker and Kimberly Elise. A Weinstein Company Release, it opens commercially in San Diego on December 25th.

Everything happens just as you'd expect, so that makes it a little more run of the mill than expected, although it did hold my interest for the entire two hours.

Wonder why the school that they debated was changed to Harvard (it was actually the University of Southern California), I'd like to know?

With any debating film I wonder how much more interesting it would've been to see them have to debate against their own beliefs? (this must happen in real debates).

I was never an Oprah fan but between this movie and Obama, she's got me now.

Wonderful movie!
