The Great Debaters

“The Great Debaters” tells the story of Mel Tolson, a professor at Wiley College. It’s 1935, and racism runs rampant. Tolson rallies up a new debate team, and he ends up recruiting the troubled Henry Lowe (Nate Parker), the intelligent Hamilton Burgess (Jermaine Williams), the newcomer Samantha Booke (Jurnee Smollett), and young teen James Farmer, Jr. (Denzel Whitaker), son of college dean James Farmer (Forest Whitaker). Tolson’s new debate team’s excellence astounds the professor, but when one of Mel Tolson’s dark secrets gets exposed, the Wiley debate team finds itself on the verge of extinction.
