Watch in Cinema

Relaxed Screening: The May 4 screening will offer a sensory friendly environment for those in the neuro-diverse community or for anyone who may benefit from a more informal viewing atmosphere.

This charming documentary follows six students representing their countries in competition at the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship in the Excel section, the most prestigious and challenging element of the competition. Each a national champion, these students from Australia, Cameroon, Greece, Guatemala, the United States and Vietnam travel to Orlando, Florida, where a win could offer life-changing academic and career opportunities. The competition provides the chance for them to compete and be challenged by other students, all of whom are the smartest kids in their class and come from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. The film highlights the importance of the support the students receive from their families, friends and each other, while these incredibly talented young minds learn to handle the ups and downs of setback and failure—not through formulas and data-handling, but by living the experience.
