The Great Debaters is an intriguing film set in the 1930s about a professor that goes by the name of Melvin Tolson who teaches students from Wiley College‚ in Texas‚ the fundamentals of debating.

The movie “American Violet set in Hearne County Texas‚ depicts the victimization of innocent second class citizens who are subject to racial bias and police corruption.

Both the animate and the inanimate objects of nature offer new scenes like a film on the screen. Nature is an integral part of our lives.
