Directed by: Tom Shepard - 80 min. - USA
film website
At at time when U.S. teens lag dangerously far behind other countries in math and science, WHIZ KIDS is a coming-of-age documentary that tells the story of three remarkably different yet equally passionate 17 year old scientists who compete in the nation's oldest, most prestigious science competition. Whether they win or lose, they raise questions about class, courage, personal sacrifice, success and failure, and in the process, learn as much about themselves as they do about science.
