P L O T



The fascinating complexity of high school debate gives

way to a portrait of the equally complex racial and

class bias of American education in Greg Whiteley's

riveting documentary. Initially a portrait of

top-flight debaters from well-funded, mostly white

schools-like nationally ranked Sam Iola and Matt

Andrews of Highland Park, Texas-the film deepens when

it changes focus to Richard Funches and Louis Blackwell

from Long Beach's Jordan squad. While gifted

traditional debaters in their own right, the two decide

to challenge the usefulness of the jargon-filled

400-word-per-minute style of modern debate (known as

"the spread") by steering their debates toward issues

of personal experience and dialogue. What is the use of

refining an argument, they stress, when it does not

affect the reality of a person's locale and particular

life? Why must individual perspective and bias be

masked? For many, these questions present such a

radical interpretive shift that competitors and judges

crumble in front of them. Contrasting Fuches and

Blackwell's attempt to challenge the system with

Andrews' relentless pursuit to excel in it and win the

prestigious Tournament of Champions, Whiteley deftly

explores the disparities between the debaters, their

styles, and their resources. Alternately inspiring and

polarizing, Resolved reveals a constantly shifting

sport that is as much philosophy as competition
