Critical Thinking DVD

It's 1998 in Miami. Rampant poverty, broken families and a prejudiced system push underprivilege youth to the fringes of society. But for a magnetic group of teens, there's a reprieve. A game where it's not about where you come from, but hour you play.

Mr T Martinez, a chess militant and passionate coach, leads them to a completely foreign field of battle: the National Chess Championship. With an underfunded school district, Martinez and his team cannot just waltz into the arena. They have to fight for it.

Chess runs parallel to their own experiences as Martinez teaches them that the power of Critical Thinking cannot only save their kings, but also their lives.
