‘Champions of our Time’ revolves around two exceptionally brilliant young girls from opposing ends of the social spectrum. They both nurse ambitions of becoming the next winner of the prestigious St. Flairs Foundation Quiz Competition. However, their quest unravels a web of intrigue, high-stakes politicking, corruption in high places, and a culture of neglect and discrimination against the physically challenged amongst us. Suspence wrapped scenes in the movie showed how far the players went to achieve their dreams in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds?
