Kerry Washington isn't just Olivia Pope. Twelve years before, Washington made her feature-film debut in "Our Song."

Washington plays Lanisha Brown, a 15-year-old who, with her two best friends, is a dedicated member of the Jackie Robinson Steppers, a community marching band. The film follows their choices after the high school closes for asbestos removal.

Based on the trailer, it seems like the kind of dramatic vehicle Washington would come to thrive in.
