    Content: Winner of Seven Bafta Awards inlcuding Best Film, 'Slumdog Millionaire' is based on Vikas Swarup's bestseller 'Q and A', which only took Swarup two months to write! Read by Kerry Shale, this beautiful award winning audio communicates Vikas' words and narrative to life, allowing the listener to envisage the colour and vibrance of Mumbai and the hard hitting truth of poverty and struggle through the eyes of two young boys and the friends they make along the way. One of the boys comes through it all, knowledgable and determined by answering twelve questions correctly on a gameshow. Stunning an audience of millions, he draws on a store of street wisdom and trivia to provide him with the essential keys, not only to the quiz show, but to life itself. Adapted for the big screen Swarup's achievement has already been marked by winning four Golden Globes. Slumdog cleaned up, winning seven of the eleven award nominations including Best Film at the BAFTAs in London so the only thing left for Swarup to think about now are the Oscars whereby this enchanting story has been nominated ten times! Ein Kellner gewinnt in der indischen Version von "Wer wird Millionär?" eine Milliarde Rupien (15 Millionen Euro). Doch wie kann dies so einem gelingen? Einem, der gar keine Schulbildung hat? Die Polizei verhaftet ihn wegen Betrugs und versucht seine "Masche" aus ihm herauszufoltern. Doch dann taucht Smita auf. Sie erklärt, sie sei seine Anwältin. Er erzählt ihr zu jeder Frage eine Geschichte aus seinem Leben, eine Geschichte, die begründet, warum er jede Frage korrekt beantworten konnte. Die Geschichten stehen zunächst unverbunden nebeneinander, Geschichten aus Indiens Slums, von denen, die nicht am indischen Technologie-Boom teilhaben. Brutale, traurige, aber oft auch witzige Geschichten, voller Leben, von Menschen, die immer wieder auf die Nase fallen und doch wieder aufstehen. Aber am Ende werden diese Geschichten von Swarup auf wunderbare Weise zusammengewebt.
