This film was released on UK television in 2008. It chronicled the 2007 World Memory Championships (held in Bahrain). It followed a few key memory athletes like Ben Pridmore, Gunther Karsten, and Ed Cooke.

Personally, I discovered this film back in 2009 and it was a key motivating factor for me in becoming the USA Memory Champion. Partial clips from the film can be found across Youtube, but not the entire film. So here it is!

Thanks to Nick Holt (the director of the film) for digging this film up for me and allowing me to share it to the world.
