Synopsis

Based on the true story of self-taught Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who travelled to England to publish his remarkable discoveries. Leaving behind his young bride, Ramanujan was excited to reveal his findings to the academic community, but instead came up against racial hostility. Ramanujan’s ability to produce theories seemingly instinctively was put under scrutiny by Professor GH Hardy, who without seeing the proof distrusted the young prodigy. Despite a frosty start, the two eventually formed a friendship that allowed them to push the academic boundaries and create work that fundamentally changed the world’s understanding of the concept of infinity.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
