‘The Great Debaters’ Giveaway!!May 11th, 2008 in Actors, Celebs, Contests, Directors, Dvd, Games, Movie News |
“The Great Debaters” is coming out on the shelves May 13th!!!
I have a copy to giveaway!!! Please post your name; I will draw the winner Wednesday. You don’t want to miss this movie - it is inspirational to the core.
“The Great Debaters” is a wonderful and provoking film written beautifully by Robert Eisele and directed very tightly by Denzel Washington who plays the lead role.
This film sets forth the traditional values and dignity the American spirit needs, once again. Even though it’s a historical story, it has everything to do with society today.
Eisele wrote the spirit of this film and Washington brought it to life with some very young and talented actors (Nate Parker, Jurnee Smollett, Denzel Whitaker.)
Forest Whitaker also stars making this the first film were two black Oscar winners star in the same movie.
As a side note: I had a chance to interview Robert Eisele about writing the script for “Debaters” and working with Washington. Eisele spoke very highly of Washington’s ability to take the character to another depth, something you can only understand by watching him work on the set.
I must acknowlege Oprah Windrey for producing this film!!!

I have been impressed with the movie and would love to have a DVD copy as a part of a Black History Collection. I am sure its implications would go far to influence Black boys and Girls in my community, who are exposed to our Black Heritage on an on-going basis but more specifically, during Black History Month.

Jimmy Wiley,
I am sorry you didn’t win, but this DVD is worth having for your Black History month. It’s takes place before WW II when civil rights wasn’t even an idea.
Jimmy Farmer, Jr. was just fourteen when he started with the debate team; seven years later he formed C.O.R.E. (Congress of Racial Equality)at the age of twenty-one.
