I cannot recommend more Spare Parts by Joshua Davis (the book the movie is based on). It does a great job explaining the situation these kids live in. (How can a kid go to college when their parents are sick and working 4 jobs to make ends meet?)

The real heroes here are not just the kids, but the teachers that with a non existent budget created a safe space for these kids to thinker and to use their natural talents
