SPELLING THE DREAM
June 3, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Can you spell B-E-S-T-B-E-T, boys and girls? Well, this is one: a documentary that notes that the last dozen winners of the prestigious Scripps spelling bee, televised on ESPN, have been Indian Americans? Coincidence? Cultural emphases? Or… conspiracy? (Spoiler Alert: It’s not conspiracy.)
