High-school debates were once an entertaining, audience-friendly exchange of ideas and opinions. But today, debating has a whole new look: one in which debaters deliver rapid-fire statements full of specialized jargon at a rate of up to an astonishing and virtually incomprehensible 400 words per minute. This documentary sheds light on the win-at-all-costs tactics of top high-school debaters--and shows how an unlikely duo devised a strategy of bringing debate back to its roots by refocusing on personal experience and dialogue. Interviews include several well-known former debaters including Josh Lucas, Jane Pauley, Karl Rove, Samuel Alito and Juan Williams.
