Synopsis
Who would have thought the most suspenseful competition on television could revolve around a bunch of 14 year-olds hooked on spelling? SPELLBOUND, the award-winning film, proves why the National Spelling Bee is one of the highest rated specials on ESPN -- a nail-biting face-off among hundreds of teens who train as rigorously as any Olympic athlete on their heroic quest for glory.
