I see that one of the five documentaries nominated is called "Spellbound," and it details the experiences of the finalists in the National Spelling Bee.

I missed the first half hour or thereabouts, so I've no idea what the title was.

I picked them because I cannot.I'll just post them, and maybe later come back with definitions. I'll try not to make typos, but if you suspect some you know where to look to find correct spelling.

I must admit I don't know their word for "I broke my eyes" and will have to *hunt for it.
