Great Debators

I thought this was a really good movie and I would like to watch it again. This is a movie about these kids that are on the debate team and they are treated bad because of the color of their skin. Denzel Washington plays Mel Tolson, the professor who makes the debate team. After he does a rough audition, he picks his team of four. Samantha Booke, Henry Lowe, James Farmer, and a 14 year old son of another Wiley professor. In this movie any black man or woman could be attacked for simply owning a nice suit and a nice car. These people get through that and they practice together to beat local schools that they go up against. Later in the movie they go to USC, a school that is willing to go against African Americans. The debate team has to do this on their own because the professor can't leave to go with them. If he goes he could ruin it for "The great debaters" because he is being watched by the cops. So when the team gets over there they get their topic and they just research it. When it's time to debate they let the 14 year old do it instead of Samantha, his team believed in him and he won the debate. This movie is based on a true story.
