What Akeelah and the Bee Is About
An eleven year old in Los Angeles who has no faith in her school is persuaded to enter a spelling contest. She knows the words and is afraid of speaking in front of a crowd. The film keeps the contest structure while shifting its real subject to the support of the neighbourhood; the narrative shows her moving forward not alone but with everyone around her. Her relationship with the coach is the second main line. Doug Atchison wrote and directed, with Keke Palmer, Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. Who it's for: those who like inspiring school films to watch with family. Who it's not for: viewers looking for a film that avoids the genre's clichés; the narrative follows the known road.
