The Platanista Gangetica is one of the few remaining freshwater dolphin species in the world. To better understand these dolphins and find solutions, Shambhu Paudel sets out to meet this species which has never before been filmed in Nepal.

For Jess Phillips of the UK, Pramila Jayapal of the US and Canada's Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner, politics is a deep and committed passion.

Jodi Kreyman is a 16-year-old who has been tall for her age since she was three, which has made her insecure her whole life. Jodi (Ava Michelle) is 6 feet 1 inches (1.85 meters) and students regularly joke about her height by asking her "How is the Weather up there". She was always the tallest student in her class, and now wears men's size 13 Nikes. People ignore her intellect and knowledge and focus on how tall she is, ignoring all other aspects of her personality. Guys would talk to her while she is sitting, and be interested in her, but would walk off as soon as they realized how tall she is. Ever since childhood she received criticism from her friends who saw her as an outcast. Her parents Richie (Steve Zahn) and Helaine (Angela Kinsey) are concerned for her and her dad has this weird belief that Jodi will keep growing till her organs explode. He even consults a doctor to give her hormones to stop her growth but stops when he learns that hormone therapy could lead to infertility. Harper (Sabrina Carpenter) is Jodi's hot sister and has been winning pageants since she was a kid. Harper is of short height and has won multiple beauty pageants. Harper is preparing for the Miss Teen Louisiana pageant and does not have a talent to showcase for the same. Fareeda (Anjelika Washington) is Jodi's best friend at school and stands up for her when she is bullied. Only Jack Dunkleman (Griffin Gluck) (who has a long-time crush on Jodi), a short boy who carries books in milk crate instead of a bag, admires her. However, Jodi believes she can only be with someone as tall as her. Her dream comes true when Stig (Luke Eisner), a tall Swedish exchange student, comes into her life and joins her class for the year. Stig is drop dead gorgeous and also smart and intelligent. Dunkleman is distressed to learn that Stig will be staying at his house as the host family. Jack argues that even if Jodi and Stig fall in love, get married and have a baby, that baby is likely to be a giant and would have to be taken out in a Cesarean section. That means Jodi would have to live with a scar for the rest of her life. However, every girl at school wants to win Stig over. Jodi is constantly reminded of her ugly height by classmate Kimmy (Clara Wilsey). Kimmy is a selfish and pretty girl who is the most popular girl at school and is Jodi's rival. Kimmy is a travel enthusiast and is destined to become a travel agent in the future. Kimmy befriends Stig and practically spends every waking minute with him. She even speaks a little Swedish. Jodi takes help from her older sister Harper Kreyman in order to impress Stig. Jodi needs help getting Stig to notice her, so Harper and their mother give her a complete makeover. Harper tells Jodi that going after an exchange student is a full-on war and she would have to be willing to go "all the way". Harper does think Jodi is capable of that. Meanwhile Jake tells Stig that with him around, Jake just looks like a dork. Stig reveals that back in Sweden he is the dork, and nobody wanted to be friends with him. Jake tells him that he is the most popular guy at the high school now. He could have anybody he wants. Kimmy and another bully, Schnipper (Rico Paris), prank call Jodi, pretending to be Stig and asking her to homecoming. Jodi is embarrassed when Kimmy reveals the truth to her. Kimmy says that Jodi is the Tall Girl and will never be the pretty girl. To her best friend Fareeda's frustration, Jodi hides in the bathroom to avoid Kimmy. Jodi takes the courage to come out in the hall, but then sees Kimmy and darts into the music room. Stumbling across Stig playing the piano, he encourages her to join him, and they sing the duet "I've Never Been in Love Before" from the musical Guys and Dolls. Jodi finds her father has organized a tall people club meeting in their house, which she finds upsetting. Jodi complains that every time her father tries to make her feel normal, he makes her feel even more like a freak. She turns up to Dunkleman's house, and Jake becomes jealous when he realizes she is there to see Stig. He continually interrupts their evening. Stig kisses Jodi on the subway ride home. Later, feeling guilty, Stig asks Dunkleman for advice, and he tells him to focus on being with Kimmy. Jodi gets angry at Dunkleman when she learns this. Meanwhile, another girl, Liz (Paris Berelc), asks Dunkleman on a date. Schnipper is now interested in Jodi, so he gets Kimmy to ask her to join them for an escape room activity. Jodi ditches a concert with Fareeda to go. In the escape room, they kiss in couples: Jodi and Schnipper, Kimmy and Stig, and Dunkleman and Liz, until Jodi gets frustrated and leaves. Jealous, Stig talks to Jodi and agrees to go on a date to Harper's pageant competition. Harper wins, but Stig does not turn up. At Dunkleman's party, Stig explains that he lost track of time. Dunkleman rejects Liz when she asks him to the homecoming dance. He gives Jodi platform heels to apologize for being a bad friend. Jodi is sent a video from after she left the party. Stig pretended that Jodi had an unrequited love for him and says he stood her up. Schnipper joined the conversation, and a fistfight ensued, leaving Dunkleman with a black eye. At the homecoming dance, Kimmy and Stig are crowned Homecoming Queen and King, but he breaks up with her. Jodi arrives in the high heels Dunkleman gave her and makes a speech expressing newfound confidence in herself. Stig asks Jodi out, but she rejects him. She talks to Dunkleman: he finally reveals why he always carries a milk crate: he stands on it and leans in to kiss her.
