Civility. The country’s brightest young minds debate the defining issues of our time with honesty, evidence, and above all, respect. How could society function without it? Through tournament footage and profiles of high school students, this film follows competitors at the Incubate Debate National Championship as they tackle topics including free speech; climate change; and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This is what a civil society looks like.
