From
two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and an ensemble cast lead by Washington
that includes Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker, comes THE GREAT DEBATERS.
Inspired by a true story, THE GREAT DEBATERS chronicles the
journey of Professor Melvin Tolson (Denzel Washington), a brilliant but
volatile debate team coach who uses the power of words to shape a group
of underdog students from a small African American college in the deep south
into a historically elite debate team. A controversial figure, Professor
Tolson challenged the social mores of the time and was under constant
fire for his unconventional and ferocious teaching methods as well as his
radical political views.
In
their pursuit for excellence, Tolson's debate team receives a groundbreaking
invitation to debate Harvard University's championship team The film is
directed by Denzel Washington and stars Washington, Forest Whitaker,
Jurnee Smollett, Nate Parker, Denzel Whitaker, and Kimberly Elise.
"The Great Debaters" was written by Robert Eisele and produced by
Todd Black, Kate Forte, Oprah Winfrey and Joe Roth. Presented by
The Weinstein Company, "The Great Debaters," will be released
by MGM on December 25th.
