Freedom Writers
It’s “Stand and Deliver”/“Dangerous Minds” meets “Diary of Anne Frank” at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California, during the mid-1990s. Based on a true story, Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank) is a novice teacher trying to reach gangbanger kids already written off as hopeless. The teacher breaks down racial barriers and unites her students with a remarkable program helping them to learn about history and themselves. The teacher, the kids, the program, and the story are all amazing and will bring tears to your eyes. This is an inspirational movie about change, tolerance, respect, and doing the right thing.
Alien gives it 3 “personal journal” stars out of 4.
