We will meet in the lobby at 7 p.m. A brief synopsis of the film is below. The movie is inspired by a true story and set in Texas.
Send Nina an email rsvp if you plan to attend or have any questions. Hope to see you at the movies!
"Drawing inspiration from the true story of a temperamental debate coach who molded the students of a small East Texas college into a formidable team that gave Harvard's squad a run for their money in the 1930s, Denzel Washington's The Great Debaters features the director himself as the ambitious educator, and Forest Whitaker as the resentful father of a student whose loyalties now lie almost exclusively with his coach."
