This was a wonderful film! I’m so glad AMS Pictures produced this documentary on my grandfather Melvin B Tolson and included my uncles in the film to expound upon my grandfather and his teachings. I head up the Melvin B. Tolson Foundation www.themelvinbtolsonfoundation.org and I hope to partner with AMS pictures in the future. This is a wonderful film about the struggle of Afro-Americans and education in America and those social change agents and teachers who guided us through the Jim Crow era, Civil Rights movement and the post Martin Luther King era into the 21st century and the change movement by Barack Obama. I encourage all to buy this DVD, it is a must have in your collections.– Kenneth S. Tolson
This documentary was even more powerful than the film. It gives the story of the real debaters from which the film was inspired. The historical archival film of Historical Black Colleges is truly priceless. This is a must have for anybody remotely interested in black history.– Music Sanger
I love this movie. It is so inspiring and when I first watched it, I cried though half of the movie…..Good job!– Benjamea Murray
My class has just finished watching The [Real] Great Debaters movie. I thought it was great. When we watched it, I did not realize at the time that the movie was based on a true story until I had to do a report on it. I learned about Professor Tolson and the original debaters. I though the whole story was great. It almost mad me feel bad for being white. The story was so strong.– Alex C.
The recent presidential debates have drawn attention to how important debate is to our civil society. The Real Great Debaters is a great film that explains how debate became a transformative tool for allowing young people to overcome bigotry and racism in the course of realizing their individual dreams of excellence. -– Ben Voth

I really enjoyed the film and the opportunity to meet the production team at the New York screening of The Real Great Debaters of Wiley College. I look forward to enjoying more of your works in the future.– Zoe Jasper

My 16 year-old daughter and I were overwhelmed by the documentary. I’m so glad we attended the premiere…we’ve seen the commercial version of the film, so actually having the opportunity to see footage from the original story was compelling.
