 Chess wizards, classical pianists, accomplished mathematicians—they’re always impressive, but even more so when they’re under the age of 10. Can such children be truly understood? What is it like inside their heads? For that matter, what is it like around their dinner tables? This three-part series documents the childhood experiences of several prodigiously intelligent boys and girls, revisiting the group at regular stages and observing their evolving relationships and attitudes. Viewers accompany each child through tests and trials at home, at school, and in many other settings, with emphasis on the often volatile parent-child dynamic. 3-part series, 48-75 minutes each.
