DVD Reviews of The Real Great Debaters of Wiley College
DVD Review: A well-rounded documentary and look into the lives of the real people who inspired the film
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
