Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) is about Jamal, a teenage orphan who is about to win the Hindi version of Millionaire. The authorities, refusing to accept that an uneducated “slumdog” could win without cheating, haul him off for questioning.

Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum and in doing so reveals where he learned the answers to the show’s seemingly impossible quizzes. But the true question is why this young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on the game show?
