Marshall, Texas is home to Wiley College. In 1935, inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and his work as a union organizer, Professor Melvin Tolson coaches the debate team to a nearly-undefeated season that sees the first debate between students from white and Negro colleges. The team of four, which includes a female student and a very young James Farmer, is tested in a crucible heated by Jim Crow, sexism, a lynch mob, an arrest and near riot, a love affair, jealousy, and a national radio audience.
Directed by Denzel Washington · Forest Whitaker · Nate Parker · Jurnee Smollett-Bell · Denzel Whitaker
