<p>Before there was <strong><em>THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT</em></strong>&nbsp;there was&nbsp;<strong>BROOKLYN CASTLE,&nbsp;</strong> the story about five members of the chess team at a below-the-poverty-line inner city junior high school. In 2012, the team&nbsp;won&nbsp;more national championships - middle school <strong><em>and</em></strong> high school than any other high school in the country... what&nbsp;can't they do?&nbsp;&nbsp;The film follows the challenges these kids faced in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories. Ironically, the biggest obstacle thrust upon them arose not from other competitors but from recessionary budget cuts to all the extracurricular activities at their school.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
