Very emotional movie and a great story. Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker in key roles, enough said.

1935 Marshall Texas. A small unknown all-black college debate team is led by a radical progressive professor (Denzel Washington) and transformed into a national powerhouse during the Great Depression. Eventually they are the first black team to openly debate completely white colleges cumulating with Harvard University. There is plenty of other era action happening in the background involving the struggle for civil rights. The movie gets a 7 out of 10.
