Based on the novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup, Slumdog Millionaire won eight Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Cinematography (Anthony Dod Mantle), Best Editing (Chris Dickens), and Best Sound. Jamal Malik (Patel), a young boy from the slums of Mumbai, is just one question away from winning a fortune on India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But how has this uneducated young man succeeded in providing correct responses to questions that have stumped countless scholars before him? And will he ultimately win it all or lose everything, including his true love? (Gary Reber)
