Plot

In the sun-drenched city of Miami, the tale of Jordan Landa unfolds, a Latina with Jewish roots who daringly steps off the beaten path to chase extraordinary dreams. "Love and Debate" brings to life the story of a young woman defying the traditional expectations of her family, who believe a woman's destiny is to marry a Jewish man and start a family. Instead, Jordan's heart beats for something different, something more. As a high school senior, she stumbles upon the exhilarating world of debate through the guidance of her mentor, Coach Amal. Within this realm of intellectual gymnastics, Jordan finds her purpose and rapidly ascends to the rank of one of the nation's top debaters, propelling her towards the hallowed halls of Harvard on a scholarship. However, the past lingers in the shadows, threatening to unravel her carefully built life when a figure from her past resurfaces. The allure of an old flame reignites desires for a life she once considered undesirable. Simultaneously, she must navigate the treacherous waters of college life, where a heart-wrenching breakup and a harrowing sexual assault test her resilience. With a pulsating soundtrack and a vibrant young cast set against the stunning Miami backdrop, "Love and Debate" is a vivid portrayal of a young woman's journey to reconcile her life between love and her passion for debate. Will she succumb to the pressures of tradition, or will her dreams prevail? This compelling narrative promises a cinematic experience as vibrant and complex as Jordan Landa herself.
