Science Fair

The 2018 Sundance Festival Favorite Award winner "Science Fair" tells the stories of nine high school students and one mentor from around the globe who set out to win the international science fair. Among the characters are 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; Myllena and Gabriel, teenagers from one of the poorest states 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.
