Abridged Book Description[]

Director Danny Boyle and co-director Loveleen Tandan fuse Bollywood with Hollywood in their brutal, heartbreaking, and wildly colorful movie, Slumdog Millionaire... The arc of the story is shaped by Jamal's ability to answer the toughest questions set by the show's antagonistic host, and the reason that he knows these obscure questions forms the spine of the story and a history of his remarkable life.
