It's a powerful film. Down here, the guy is a hero. Not so much for his chess as for what he did with it. And the film has some serious chess input - watch the credits - local FM Ewen Green coached Cliff Curtis in the chess role. As far as I'm aware, the only 'liberty' taken was to make the NZ junior championship a knockout instead of the swiss that it actually is - they thought there was no way a swiss system could be explained to the viewers in the time available!
I can thoroughly recommend it!
