Product Information
Akeelah is a charming 11-year-old girl from Los Angeles' gang-ridden South Central district. Upon flipping channels after school one day, she lands on ESPN's coverage of the National Spelling Bee. Having recently become aware of her innate talent in this area, Akeelah cannot help but fantasise about the prospect of being a star of the bee circuit. The tragic problem -- intelligence is not valued in her community, where skills of athleticism and rapping are coveted far more than school smarts.Product Identifiers
