Plot Summary
Oprah Winfrey featured Accidental Hero on her television show, awarding Tommie Lindsey and his program the $100,000 Use Your Life Award. Award winner, Accidental Hero plunges the viewer into a multi-racial high school classroom where the focus of the students is winning...bringing home a state championship in a little known academic sport called "forensics." The art of public speaking is changing their lives, and Tommie Lindsey, their powerful African-American coach, is proving it. By allowing students to draw on their cultural backgrounds, sometimes pent up pain or anger, Lindsey channels emotions positively into spellbinding performances. Lindsey creates champions and inspires dreams to happen. The audience experiences the process, from classroom to state championship.
Customer Reviews
Beyond inspiration
This indie film is truly inspirational. Tommie Lindsey does an excellent job at creating this program and influencing the sport of "forensics" and providing an outlet for these young adults. The film spans over a decent amount of time, as we watch the "speakers" grow and enhance their abilities, through this time it is when you fully understand the art of forensics. Great Film!
Great Movie!!
Very inspirational movie! Tommie Lindsey not only motivates his students to be champions in the classroom but in their lives as well. Excellent film!
