Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
De 11-jaar oude Akeelah groeit op in het ghetto van zuid L.A. en heeft een talent voor taal. Ondanks dat haar moeder er tegen is, schrijft Akeelah zich in voor een spellingswedstrijd. Haar talent brengt haar tot de Nationale Spellingsfinales, 's werelds grootste spelingsevenement, met behulp van de mysterieuze docent Dr. Larabee. Haar succes zorgt voor een gevoel van trots in haar buurt en de mensen om haar heen, wat hen nader tot elkaar brengt.
