It's a fascinating journey, filled with moments of terror-observe the giant toxic clouds of foam from a polluted Indian lake tumble ominously through the streets of Bangalore like an invading alien army... Go to Full Review

Mildly engaging and inspirational, but it lacks emotional depth, comic relief and a cinematic style that would've made it an above average doc. The documentary SCIENCE FAIR is superior. Go to Full Review

Sep 11, 2018 This inspiring documentary reminds us that our children are aware of and ready to conquer the challenges that we face today - especially in the destruction of our natural environments. We must encourage and foster their desire to learn and find solutions for the problems they see around them. The filmmakers have a clear passion for this subject that goes beyond filmmaking. The stories are told with heart and intelligence. See more
Poe S Sep 9, 2018 This movie is a must see in the dark times we are living through. These young scientists will fill you with hope and optimism for a brighter future ahead. See more
Theodore P Sep 8, 2018 This brilliant indie achieves everything you could want from an activist doc. In the face of heart-wrenching environmental challenges, this collection of diverse young student scientists from around the globe face down and outsmart local hazards that threaten the homes they love. The could not be more genuine, leveraging their deep passion and advanced scientific insights to invent programs and technologies that sweep them into the final ranks of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). We all know the stakes around climate change and global environmental devastation are at a breaking point, and the current political tide is proactively eroding and resisting the very science and strategies that could minimize the existential threats of the coming century. And in our deep concern, many of us have absorbed dozens of important but high-pressure documentaries over the past decade about global warming and social and environmental justice. Candidly, I was a bit apprehensive to see another gut punch story about our dwindling chances of sustainability on this planet, but this film is a special shining gem! Director Laura Nix intentionally takes a very different approach, following the passion and challenges of these young adults against the backdrop of a prestigious science fair, to give us a film that is smart and light and engaging and inspiring and joyful and touching and human and hopeful. Brilliant! If other green films have sucked the life out of you, you owe it to yourself to take this rejuvenating breath of hope. See more
