Atari
In the early 1970s, Nolan Bushnell, an engineering student, puzzle-lover & game enthusiast, goes from fixing broken pinball machines to launching the Atari Corp., a video game manufacturer. The company's first product is a game called "Pong" that transfixes kids in suburban recreation rooms across the country and leads to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of video game sales. Within a few years, he sells the company to Warner Communications for $28 million.
Adewumi Project
After being threatened by Boko Haram, the Adewumi family flees Nigeria and escapes terrorism in their home country. They seek and receive asylum in America, and — against all odds — find a welcoming new home in New York. Living in a homeless center on religious asylum, their 8-year-old son, Tani, wins the 2019 New York State chess championship, despite only being introduced to the game two years prior.
