35/100
The documentary grows to feel like a parent describing their daughter's involvement in an international competition. The girls' achievements are impressive, but you definitely don't want to hear about them for nearly two hours. Go to Full Review

11/19/2017 I wish more time was spent on the individual motivations and hurdles behind learning and developing their apps, rather than the prep for the contest. A film centered around tech's disparities should spend more time on that. Despite that, I really enjoyed the film and watching the girls' vision take shape. See more 07/31/2017 This movie is inspiring because it provides a positive way to address the issue of "lack of diversity in the tech world." These young girls have to overcome alot of things to be able to do something that adults can't do. Compared to other documentaries on this topic, I enjoyed this the best because it give you hope and a concrete way to solve this problem. See more 07/25/2017 Inspiring and well done! Love this movie. See more 04/10/2016 Awesome Documentary!
