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 will 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 8 $a MPAA rating: PG; for some language. 538 $a DVD, region 1; Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0. 546 $a English dialog with optional English or Spanish subtitles; closed-captioned. 650 0 $a Spelling bees $v Drama. 650 0 $a School children $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Drama. 650 0 $a Self-esteem in children $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Drama. 655 0 $a Children's films. 655 0 $a Films for the hearing impaired. 700 1 $a Atchison, Doug. 700 1 $a Palmer, Keke. 700 1 $a Fishburne, Larry. 700 1 $a Bassett, Angela. 700 1 $a Armstrong, Curtis. 700 1 $a Zigman, Aaron. 710 2 $a Lionsgate (Firm) 939 $a 5922364 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=720F18B82B1111DE9FAE8B08A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b UIW 952 $l WJPC185 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
