The Great Debaters
 Starring Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker
 
A powerful drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team; the team went on to challenge none other than the prestigious (and naturally favored to win) Harvard in the national championship. Critics rave about the acting, directing and emotional impact of the story.  Underdogs can still be champions.
