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.8 aMPAA rating: PG; for some language.  aDVD.  aEnglish dialogue with optional English or Spanish subtitles; closed-captioned. 0aSpelling beesvDrama. 0aSchool childrenzCaliforniazLos AngelesvDrama. 0aSelf-esteem in childrenzCaliforniazLos AngelesvDrama. 0aFeature films. 0aChildren's films. 0aFilms for the hearing impaired. 0aMelodramas (Motion pictures)1 aAtchison, Doug.1 aPalmer, Keke.1 aFishburne, Larry.1 aBassett, Angela.1 aArmstrong, Curtis.1 aMullen, David.1 aZigman, Aaron.2 a2929 Productions.2 aCinema Gypsy Productions.2 aLion's Gate Films.2 aOut of the Blue Entertainment (Firm)2 aReactor Films.2 aStarbucks Entertainment (Firm)wlt52  c18242d18242  4070aABELJbABELJcPGDVDd2016-11-01l4m3oDVD AKEEp18036r2022-12-15s2019-05-02v10.00w2016-11-01yDVD
