No its not the Hitchcock film, its an interesting documentary film about the pressures, kids, preparation and events of a national spelling bee in America. Basically it shows the stories of six kids: Angela Arenivar, Ted Brigham, April DeGideo, Neil Kadakia, Nupur Lala, Emily Stagg, Ashley White and the hyperactive Harry Altman, who is pulling the face on the poster. It shows why they study, why they like to spell and their journey to the stage to win the spelling trophy. Their family, teachers and friends are obviously behind all of them determined that they could win. Obviously one of the nicest female kids won the trophy. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Documentary, Features. It was number 32 on The 50 Greatest Documentaries. Very good!
