5/5 A well-rounded documentary and look into the lives of the real people who inspired the film

I recently came across this DVD when looking to purchase "The Great Debaters" movie. I initially expressed interest in this DVD when I understood that Nate Parker (who played Henry Lowe, who was modeled after Wiley College debater Henry Heights) was interviewed for the documentary. But the documentary doesn't disappoint in ANY way: you have testimony from the Wiley College debate students who were still living at the time that this DVD was made, the testimony of the present debate team at Wiley College, the family members of those who'd passed on who were a part of such a history-making event, and the future of Wiley College. This is a must-have for anyone who's a black history enthusiast like me.

THIS DOCUMENTRY WAS EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE FILM.
IT GIVES THE STORY OF THE REAL DEBATERS FROM WHICH THE FILM WAS INSPIRED.
THE HISTORICAL ARCHIVAL FILM OF HISTORICAL BLACK COLLEGES IS TRULY PRICELESS. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYBODY REMOTELY INTRESTED IN BLACK HISTORY!!

5/5 The REAL story

Once again, AMS Pictures creates another compelling and inspiring documentary. Based on the Hollywood movie, this film tells the true story of the great debaters, including how these incredible men and women went on to make huge changes in the world. This is a story that is as relevant and riveting today as it was then.
