    A Very Unlikely Hero
    I had never heard of Arthur Chu before, because I have never watched Jeopardy and I pay no attention to network TV.

    All of that said, this is a remarkable film about a remarkable individual. It's a fly-on-the-wall, warts and all, deep dive into the lives of Arthur and his wife and his extended family.

    His story has it all - immigrants striving for a better life in the US, instant fame in our media crazy world, bullying on the basis of gender, ethnicity etc and a very unlikely hero, attempting to use his new found leverage to make the world better.
