Set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow South and inspired by a true story, "The Great Debaters" chronicles the journey of a brilliant but volatile coach (Denzel Washington) who uses the power of words to shape a group of underdog students from a small, modest black college in East Texas into an elite debate team while challenging the social mores of the time, culminating with a groundbreaking invitation to debate Harvard's championship team. Directed by Denzel Washington and produced by Oprah Winfrey, the cast includes Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Nate Parker, Gina Ravera, and Denzel Whitaker.
