Except they didn't debate Harvard and were avoided by black colleges to debate not white, and the characters were fictitious, there was no contact with a lynch mob, nobody got arrested, no ginning union formed, were never national champions of debate, the first woman on a debate team was long gone in 1935 as she was on the 1930 Wiley team, but yes they indeed did make a movie about this.
