Product Details:
Jeff Blitz’s Academy Award-nominated documentary is an affecting, inspiring look at eight American children as they make their way to compete in the 1999 National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.
Defying all stereotypes and categorizations, the spellers that Blitz chooses to focus on run the ethnic and socioeconomic gamut. It offers equal doses of humour, heartbreak, drama and nail-biting tension to create edge-of-your-seat filmaking. This delightful film will win your heart.
