GIFTED

A film by Marie Drucker

DOCUMENTARY / 66' / FRANCE 2 / 2017

Synopsis

It’s estimated that France is home to more than 500,000 “gifted” children. Most of them find it very hard to “live like everyone else” or to function in the traditional educational system, where many gifted children simply cannot “fit in.” Our documentary tells the story of a handful of gifted children between the ages of 8 and 16 who attend the George Gusdorf School in Paris. This specialized institution gives them a chance to get back in touch with their real selves and muster the courage to get on with their lives.
