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
