Spellbound

An extraordinary documentary which follows eight kids from their early victories in regional spelling bees to the national competition in Washington, D.C., and becomes an out-and-out nail-biter. Each of the kids is captured so vividly that the viewer is emotionally immersed in their brave, dedicated effort to become the national spelling champion. Along the way, Spellbound contrasts the different populations that make up the U.S. and shows how this facet of intelligence truly makes everyone equal on the podium. A riveting, wrenching, must-see film.
