I enjoyed the episode focusing on the world's tallest people, so I thought this one would be very interesting too. Basically this documentary, narrated by Sam Hazeldine, focused on some of the world's most talented people, whether in Britain, America or other countries (in this case Isreal and Singapore), and how they cope, make a living and amaze people with their extraordinary gifts. The people focused include thirteen artist Akiane Kramarik who started painting professional artwork worth thousands of pounds, including landscapes, at four years old, claiming a voice in her head (she believes God) taught her to paint. Also British former accountant Ben Pridmore who has an incredible memory, giving up his career and concentrating of his gift to enter memory contests, and beat a record, twice! The man who inspired Dustin Hoffman to play Rain Man, American Kim Peek who suffers brain damage, but is able to remember 98% of everything he reads, seen by a professional doctor to determine how he works or whatever. Ten-year-old musician Ariel, who apparently listened to classical music when he was in the womb, and at the age of five taught himself to play piano like a professional, and at seven in concert, and now is debuting with a jazz piece. Finally, eight-year-old Ainan Celeste Cawley studying chemistry in science at degree level, taking O-level at just seven, after his parents saw his gift for understanding the subject, e.g. calculations. Very good!
