An award winning documentary, this is the journey of eight competitive youngsters living in hope of becoming the National Spelling Bee champion. Director Jeff Blitz turns the cameras to the backgrounds and study methods of these driven young people, which vary dramatically - from April, who studies a dictionary eight hours a day, to Neil, whose grandfather has paid people in India to pray for him to win.
