Its about finding the courage to raise your voice
Its about finding the courage to raise your voice in the face of great hatred, opposition and fear. That it comes by coincidence in the wake of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto gives it an immediacy and a power it otherwise might have lacked. Nate Parker may end up the next Denzel Washington. He has the charm and emotional punch. Put him in more things. Great Debaters dvd A predictable but sturdy genre offering. A sort of Glory Road or Pride rewrite that celebrates young people who are better at stringing words than shooting hoops or swimming laps. Its terrifically acted, pretty much a given with this cast. This is one of the years best films.
