Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318, an inner-city public school that's home to the most winning junior high school chess team in the country.

But a series of deep public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine its hard-won success.

Our film is as much about the five young teens it follows as it is about the ability of public schools to do great things when they have the resources.
