The following video is a trailer for a documentary titled "Accidental Hero: Room 408." The film follows the life and work of forensics coach/teacher Tommie Lindsey, who built the ferociously competitive James Logan High School Speech and Debate squad from a small after-school program into a juggernaut on the National Forensics scene.
I have known Tommie for six years now and I have had the great opportunity to work with him and his students down at James Logan (which is located in Union City, CA not far from the greater Oakland area.)
Tommie is the paragon of a real-life hero, an educator who puts in to0 many hours and who has faced too many challenges to just give up his hope and dream of helping his students find their voices and and their talents.
