It’s difficult to pick a favorite character here, but Kashfia — whose school doesn’t know how lucky they were to have her — is a strong contender.
Profiling the contestants and their supportive (or not so supportive) communities, the doc champions the bookish and the bold, the straight-A students and those who risk failing math because they’re too busy programming their calculator to spit out Shakespearean insults. There’s also the teacher so dedicated to her students’ success that she sacrifices her own personal life to work overtime with them, and then there’s the school that cares so little about one of its phenomenal talents that she has to beg the football coach to mentor her herself. Though all of the students are brilliant in their own ways, it’s stories like the latter — and those of Myllena and Gabriel, two teens from an impoverished Brazilian town working to halt the Zika virus — that emerge as the most inspiring of those featured here.
