THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY is a film about Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught Indian mathematician who was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, just before the First World War.

Discrimination
In one scene Ramanujan is approached by a group of former Cambridge undergraduates, now soldiers in uniform. One says, "Look who it is, the little wog, the freeloading little blackie". Ramanujan is then knocked to the ground and kicked several times, the blows landing below frame. In another scene a lecturer, jealous of Ramanujan's mathematical brilliance, says to him, "Little wog, let me tell you something. You don't pull a stunt like that in my class".
Other issues include: some mild threat and injury detail as a German Zeppelin drops bombs on Cambridge; mild bad language, including several uses of 'bloody'; and scenes of adult cigarette smoking.
