Call Us Wunderkind - Ep3: The Weight of Expectations

What if your child could do what most adults never will? Call Us Wunderkind follows child prodigies across Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, and the families who have rebuilt their lives around them. But who decides a child is a prodigy? And what does it take to keep one going? 

Across six episodes, the series counts the time, money and attention poured into a single gift, and asks who really pays. What happens when a child who never fails, does? Where does a prodigy go to just be a kid? When a talent goes viral, who controls the story? And when the applause dies down, who are they without it?

With insights from gifted-education experts, psychologists and former prodigies, Call Us Wunderkind takes an intimate look at childhoods lived at full speed, and asks what it really means to grow up extraordinary.
