Beautiful Young Minds

Beautiful Young Minds follows the 2006 International Mathematical Olympiad and the team from the United Kingdom who competed in it. The film discusses how the team members are chosen and how they were trained for the Olympiad, which took place in Slovenia that year.

Most of the team members were autistic, displaying exceptional mathematical brilliance and abilities that aided the success of the United Kingdom team. During the competition, the group of young mathematicians from the UK won one bronze medal and four silver medals.

One of the mathematical prodigies on the team, Daniel James Lightwing, went on to establish Castella Research, an internet gambling business based on sports betting. The mentoring and training that these individuals underwent to achieve such impressive accomplishments at the International Mathematical Olympiad are highlighted in the documentary, with a focus on their exceptional genius.
