Exclusive Trailer for Brooklyn Castle  Ever heard of I.S. 318?
It's a public junior high school in Brooklyn that just happens
to boast the best chess team in the country, and it's the focus
of the new documentary Brooklyn Castle (out October 19), which
won the Audience Award at South by Southwest. Still, despite the
emphasis on winning, this is a film about underdogs, since I.S.
318 is made up principally of children who are below the poverty
line and the school's budget slashes could spell doom for the
kids' trips to chess tournaments. What would it mean for them to
lose something that gives them such fire and ambition? Watch
this exclusive trailer and find out.
