I watched the movie 'The Great Debaters' the other day. Directed by Denzel Washington, it brings together arguably the two best Black actors today: Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker (and yes they interact in the movie- classic scene)The movie also sees, Denzel in his third movie with Kimberly Elise (see John Q & The Manchurian Candidate) The movie is about the first black college to debate and defeat major white universities. Denzel stars as Melvin Tolson (you may know about his poetry)a teacher at Wiley college in racist 1930s Texas, who leads a small group of students to national recognition (and hatred) culminating in a victory over Harvard. Beautifully directed, acted and with a wonderful musical score, it is a definate must-see.
