This film didn't grab my attention it didn't meet my interests.I would rather eat dry grass... This movie would be in the 'Documentary' genre , I would recommend this if you're interested in watching how the 8 "main characters" struggled and how hard they studied spelling difficult words, watch how they compete against 267 other opponents.This film shows in a way that you can show your talent wether your rich or poor , and it doesn't matter which gender or race you are , basically it shows that everyone is equal. In this movie well...In this documentary there are 8 young children of different ages studying long hours to compete in the Grand National Spelling Bee , basically they had no life... The 8 characters were all a different nationality like Indian and American. Their names were Neil Kadakia , Emily Stagg , Ashley White , April DeGideo , Harry Altman , Angela Arenivar, Nupar Lala and Ted Brigham.
