Una parola per un sogno (2006)
Akeelah ha solo 11 anni ma si mostra da subito una precoce studentessa. Il dono della parola le consentirà di farsi strada in gare di spelling, e diventare, nonostante le obiezioni della madre, una campionessa del 'National Spelling Bee', la tradizionale competizione che vede gli studenti di tutte le scuole americane impegnati a sfidarsi nel fare lo 'spelling' di parole difficili.
