Beautiful Young Minds was a documentary first shown at the BRITDOC Festival on 26 July 2007[1][2] and first broadcast on BBC 2 on 14 October 2007.

[3] The documentary follows the selection process and training for the U.K. team to compete in the 2006 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), as well as the actual event in Slovenia.

Many of the young mathematicians featured in the film had a form of autism, which the documentary links to mathematical ability.

The documentary inspired the 2014 film X+Y, which was also directed by Morgan Matthews, based on IMO participant Daniel Lightwing.
