Science Fair - Movie! In Theaters in September 2018! #ScienceFairFilm @sciencefairfilm

Synopsis: 
Hailed by critics as "immensely likeable," "brilliant and quirky" and an "ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends," and winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW, National Geographic Documentary Films' SCIENCE FAIR follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at The International Science and Engineering Fair. As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair. The film, from Fusion and Muck 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.

Among the subjects the documentary follows include:
Kashfia, one of the only Muslim girls at a massive high school in South Dakota, who finds an unlikely kinship with her school’s head football coach who doubles as her science fair coach;

Myllena and Gabriel, teenagers from a poor town in Brazil, who see winning the science fair as their families’ key to escaping poverty; and

Dr. McCalla, a black science research teacher from Long Island, who has transformed her class of young immigrants into one of the best science fair teams in the world.



This inspiring and exciting film won the first ever overall Festival Favorite Award at Sundance, the Festival Favorites Audience Award from SXSW and has been wowing audiences across the nation and in Europe.

SCIENCE FAIR opens in theaters beginning in New York on September 14, 2018; Los Angeles on September 21, 2018 and other cities following.
