This is a story of ambition, about beating the odds,
and about the massive changes that are convulsing
Indian society. We watch as poor, but brilliant
Indian teenagers are helped to become
multi-millionaires and power brokers - especially in
the IT world. The film explores the vision of two
remarkable men and their school, the Ramanujan
Academy, in Patna. Bihar Province is India's poorest
state. Fewer than half of its 90 million inhabitants
can sign their own name. Yet each year 30
impoverished children are chosen for an intensive
tutoring programme that prepares them to compete for
the world’s toughest university, the Indian
Institutes of Technology. It follows the year-long
cycle of the 2007 ‘Super-30’ as they begin a journey
away from the grinding poverty of Indian village
life to the cutting edge of global science,
technology and business. |
