Disney Documentary More Than Robots

More Than Robots (Walt Disney Pictures) Documentary.

"It is way more than a club… it teaches you the skills of life!" Disney has revealed the first official trailer for More Than Robots, a documentary film marking the feature directorial debut of actress Gillian Jacobs. The film is premiering at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival coming up soon in March this year, before launching streaming on Disney+. Similar to a few other science competition documentaries made recently (see Science Fair or Inventing Tomorrow) this one follows students as they plan and prepare for a robotics competition. Four teams of teenagers from around the world prepare for the 2020 First Robotics Competition, but in a year like no other, the kids learn that there is more to the competition than just robots. It focuses on teams from Los Angeles, Mexico City + Chiba, Japan. Disney has also been a supporter of the "FIRST" competition with financial, in-kind and mentorship resources for years. This looks superbly inspirational! Check it out.
