Science Fair

Hailed by critics as "immensely likable," "brilliant and quirky" and an "ode to the teenage science geeks on whom 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.
