Freedom Writers is a story about a teacher in a racially divided school who gives her students what they've always needed to succeed - a voice. Based on a real-life teacher (at Long Beach's Wilson High) who inspired her students to overcome the gangs that divided them and the education system that forgot them. Supported by a cast of first-time actors who drew from their actual experiences on the street, this thought-provoking film teaches us all an important lesson about tolerance and trust.
Trust me; you don’t want to miss this movie! ??
