The Great Debaters - Die Macht der Worte

The Great Debaters - Die Macht der Worte
Foto: TMDB

Texas in den 1930er Jahren. Rassismus, Vorurteile und brutale Übergriffe gegenüber der schwarzen Bevölkerung prägen das Bild. Doch Melvin B. Tolson, ein Universitätsprofessor am Wiley College, nimmt den Kampf gegen die Ungerechtigkeit auf. Er formt ein Team aus afroamerikanischen Studenten und bringt diesen die hohe Kunst des Debattierens bei. Trotz des erbitterten Widerstands der öffentlichen Meinung, schickt er seine vier besten Studenten in einen Wettbewerb gegen das Eliteteam der Harvard Universität. Vor dem Hintergrund dramatischer gesellschaftlicher Ereignisse dieser Zeit, entwickelt sich ein packender Kampf von Tolsons Studenten gegen die übermächtige weiße Elite. Die Story basiert auf realen Personen und einer wahren Begebenheit.
