Freedom Writers

A great, great, gurrrreat movie! Very inspiring and moving. You'll cry through most of it, especially that it's based on a true story.

Hilary Swank stars in this gripping story of inner city kids raised on drive-by shootings and hard-core attitude - and the teacher who gives them the one thing they need most: a voice of there own. Dropped into the free-fire zone of a school torn by violence and racial tension, teacher Erin Gruwell battles an uncaring system in a fight to make the classroom matter in her students lives. Now, telling their own stories, and hearing the stories of others, a group of supposedly "unteachable" teens will discover the power of tolerence, reclaim their shattered lives, and change their world.

Everything was so brilliant. You can never take your eyes off the screen. The two hours passed like 10 minutes!

I love it. I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before, I can't even remember which of my friends I got it from.

Highly recommended if you're in the mood of a deep, touching movie :)
