The Great Debators

Grammy’s Rating: +5; WOW!

Inspiring is putting it mildly for this movie!

This was is an inspirational story set in the midst of racial tension and American historical realities that need to be told again and again, so that they are never forgotten nor repeated. In the midst of this sad and shameful part of our history, the performances of these debaters was nothing short of heroic.

The acting is riveting, the scripting superb, and the lessons unforgettable. These characters make you proud to be an American, because of their pure courage to fight for liberty on their unique battleground of ideals. Some scenes, though authentic, would not be appropriate for children under 12. It should be required for everyone else!
