The Great Debaters

I do not believe this movie will come onto the Malaysian circuit.

Set in the early 1930s, prior to unionism, a Professor of Wesley University built up 4 great debaters to fight all the way up the championship at Harvard. It was a first for black debaters to trounced the whites in the hallowed grounds of Harvard in Cambridge.

I believe it is based on a real story and there is sufficient excitement especially the lynching of a Negro in Texas and the chase by a white mob when the debaters were en route to a debate venue.



As usual, there is the 2 boys love one girl triangle to take away the 'heat' from the movie.

Produced by Oprah and Denzel,it is quite a good movie and a breeze to watch.
