She is a smart girl, but her environment threatens to strangle her aspirations. Responding to a threat by her school's principal, Akeelah decides to participate in a spelling bee to avoid detention for her many absences. Much to her surprise and embarrassment, she wins. Her principal asks her to seek coaching from Dr. Larabee, an English professor, for the more prestigious regional bee. As the possibility of making it all the way to the Scripps National Spelling Bee looms, Akeelah could provide her community with someone to rally around and be proud of. First Akeelah have to overcome her insecurities, her distracting home life, and the knowledge that there is a field of more experienced and privileged fellow spellers. 521 1 $a MPAA rating: PG; for some language. 538 $a DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo. 541 $d 20060918. 546 $a Closed captioned. 650 14 $a Feature films. 650 1 $a Spelling bees $v Drama. 650 7 $a Amor a s©Ư mismo en los ni©Åos (Psicolog©Ưa) $z Los ©ngeles $z Los ©ngeles $v Teatro. 650 7 $a Escolares $z Los ©ngeles $z Los ©ngeles $v Teatro. 650 0 $a Youth $v Feature. 650 7 $a School children $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Drama. 650 4 $a Self-esteem in children $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Drama. 655 0 $a Children's films. 655 0 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. 655 7 $a Children's $v Feature. 655 0 $a Melodrama, American. 655 7 $a Melodrama. 655 7 $a Melodrama. $v Feature. 700 $a Zigman, Aaron. 700 $a Mullen, David. 700 $a Armstrong, Curtis. 700 $a Bassett, Angela. 700 $a Fishburne, Larry. 700 $a Palmer, Keke. 700 $a Atchison, Doug. 710 $a Lions Gate Home Entertainment. 941 $a 7 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20211204011112.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20200731011318.0 952 $l CWPB586 $d 20160309013328.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20160211013142.0 952 $l NGPB343 $d 20150402022728.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20150217054735.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20120731013814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52AFCD36CB2411E0A415917CC41A358DInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
