WORD WARS ((76')
GENRE: CULTURE/HISTORY

This award winning documentary delves deep into the sometimes insane world of scrabble gamers. Some devote years of their lives to mental and physical preparation and travel the country – often full-time – competing in cutthroat tournaments. For some, the game keeps them teetering on the safe side of sanity. For others, it has pushed them just over the edge. The one thing that binds these two groups together is their religious like love and respect for the game of SCRABBLE.

Word Wars focuses on four of the game’s highest-ranked players (also featured in Stefan Fatsis’ best-selling book Word Freak), as they advance from heated competition in neighborhood parks and clubs to highly organized regional and national tournaments, culminating in the National Championship in San Diego, where the top prize is $25,000.
