Review of Akeelah and the Bee (2006) by Ashley H — 17 Feb 2009
I just saw it on the Lifetime Movie Network. There were so many people there that some had to be turned away. The best parts were the interactions between the characters of Akeelah and Javier, a young Mexican boy who comes from an affluent family.
Their friendship and team work in helping each other do their best in the Spelling Bee is a great example for young black and browns here in Los Angeles, especially with all the racial fighting in the schools and prisons.
