Genre: Biography, Drama
Marshall, Texas, described by James Farmer, Jr. as "the last city to surrender after the Civil War," is home to Wiley College, where, in 1935-36, inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and his clandestine work as a union organizer, Professor Melvin Tolson coaches the debate team to a nearly-undefeated season that sees the first debate between U.S. students from white and Negro colleges and ends with an invitation to face Harvard University's national champions.

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.

On the DVD:
• Deleted Scenes (SD; 4:53) are no great shakes, but offer a couple of interesting moments.
• The Great Debaters: An Historical Perspective (SD; 23:08) is quite simply one of the most excellent supplements for any film I've experienced lately. Featuring some beautiful interviews with the actual debaters (most of whom are now in their 80s), this is a wonderful homage to some important trailblazers. Pay careful attention to just how many of these great people went on to earn their Doctorates.
• The Great Debaters: A Heritage of Music (SD; 17:07) is another excellent featurette detailing the use of source cues in the film.
• Two Music Videos, "That's What My Baby Likes" (SD; 3:05) and "My Soul is a Witness" (SD; 4:03).
• Actor / Director Denzel Washington (1080i; 6:25) profiles Denzel.
• Forest Whitaker on Becoming James Farmer, Sr. (SD; 3:59) actually offers as much Oprah as Forest on this bit of fortuitous casting.
• A New Generation of Actors (SD; 9:48) offers some brief background on the fantastic young ensemble members.
• The 1930's Wardrobe of Sharen Davis (SD; 5:29) focuses on the film's costume designer.
• The Production Design of David J. Bomba (SD; 8:58) looks at the film's elegant and historically accurate production design.
