Where Geeks Are Rock Stars: Documentary Spotlights an Urban School's Champion Chess Team

"Where's the best junior high school chess team in the nation? It's not at a private school or in some wealthy suburb. Instead, it’s at Brooklyn's Intermediate School 318, where the majority of students are low-income children of color.
