Brooklyn Castle

Here is the preview trailer to Brooklyn Castle – an award winning documentary that tells the stories of five members of the chess team at a below-the-poverty-line inner city junior high school that has won more national championships than any other in the country. It is a fascinating and inspiring look at how chess can help transform kids to better their lives and give them hope.

You can go to their web site for PBS showtimes or see a listing of online providers (Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, etc) where you can rent or buy an online copy. You can also watch it on Netflix if you have a subscription.
