THE GREAT DEBATERS PREMIERE

Race n I were invited to The Great Debaters premiere in LA last Nov by Mr. Harvey Weinstein.

I was very excited to meet my favorite actor Denzel Washington and the richest woman in the world- Oprah Winfrey, she is an inspiration to me and to many. Denzel Washington is definitely in the Great Actor classification of Andrew Lin: Good Actor vs Great Actor As a great actor, Denzel is never comfortable repeating himself or his successes. He is always in search of new challenges and his numerous and varied film and stage portrayals bear this out. Denzel is an awesome director who directs his new young actors/actress Denzel Whitaker (James Farmer,Jr), Nate Parker (Henry Lowe) and Jurnee Smollett (Samantha Booke) with great intensity and emotion.  If you are up for a serious movie, this is the pick !! Enjoy !!!!

THE GREAT DEBATERS

Believe in the power of words.

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

Tom Epperson 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.
