Facing off against 1,700 of the smartest, socially conscious teens from 78 different countries, only one will be named Best in Fair.
The film, from Fusion Media and directed by the DuPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaking team Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, offers a front seat to the victories, defeats, and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science. The film had its premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award. 2018, U.S., DCP, in English, German, and Portuguese with English subtitles, 90 minutes.
