Freedom Writers - Movie Review

Freedom Writers is one of the movie which moved me and made me wonder whether there are persons like this too in real world.In the movie,a young Teacher by name Erin Gruwell joins in the Woodrow Wilson High in Long Beach, a voluntarily integrated school who has a great passion for teaching and also believes that persons can be changed in the school.All are dreams get shattered when she is challenged by a group of Black, Latino, and Asian gangbangers the inner city kids raised on drive-by shootings and hard-core attitude.They hate her even more than each other.

All this changes when she hears to problem of those city kids like no other adults and she comes to understand that for these kids, getting through the day alive is enough-hey are not delinquents but teenagers fighting a war of the streets that began long before they were born.She doesn't end up with that.she tries to help all the students as much as possible which even cost her married life.she works part time to raise money to give the students good books according to their needs.The students getz attached to her and they want her for thier high school too and how she struggles to get that position is the movie.

I was moved when i heard this was a real story and all those kids did become graduates and some where the first among their families.The Freedom writers is the book published by them and here is their website and community.check it out and don't forget to watch the movie.A superb movie and i want a Teacher like her and for teachers try to be like her .
