Making Child Prodigies

At a time when society seems increasingly interested in measuring talent, and being "special" is every child - and parents' – expectation, the pressure is on this unique group of children to live up to their potential. Filming over five months, spanning Melbourne, Canberra, Rockhampton, regional New South Wales and New York U.S.A., this illuminating and entertaining series explores whether prodigious talent is down to nature or nurture, and what family conditions maximize success.
