Brooklyn Castle is a documentary film about Intermediate School 318 in Brooklyn, an inner-city public school where an after-school chess program has built the most winning junior high school chess team in the country and the first middle school team to win the United States Chess Federation's national high school championship. The film follows five of the school’s chess team members for one year, and documents their challenges and triumphs both on and off the chessboard.
All the students in the film learned chess and honed their chess skills in the Chess in the Schools Program in New York City. Chess in the Schools is a nonprofit that has taught to more than 500,000 public school students how to play chess. In addition to teaching chess, Chess in the Schools runs scholastic tournaments almost every weekend. The students of IS 318 join more than 700 students every weekend competing in the Chess in the Schools tournaments. Additionally once IS 318 students enter high school, many of them join the Chess in the Schools College Bound Program which prepares students for college in an intensive four-year program.
