A new trailer for the upcoming documentary Brooklyn Castle has been released.
The movie follows the chess team at a school in Brooklyn, though unlike most chess teams—consisting of kids typecast as “nerds” or “outcasts”—this particular team is the school’s star “jocks,” having won more national championships than any other school. But the movie is not just about chess; it’s also about the struggles of these below-the-poverty-line kids, as well as the damage being caused by budgetary cuts to their extracurricular activities.
You can check out the trailer for Brooklyn Castle, which hits select theaters on October 19th, by heading below now.
