- Freedom Writers
Freedom Writers is an American film starring Hilary Swank,
Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton and Patrick Dempsey released on January 5, 2007.
Freedom Writers is inspired by a true story and the diaries of real Long Beach,
California teenagers after the LA riots, during the worst outbreak of interracial
gang warfare. Set in and around Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach,
California, two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank stars as Erin Gruwell,
whose passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by a group of Black, Latino,
and Asian street gangsters who hate her even more than each other, mainly due
to her being White. After a few days of class, Erin and her students get into
a debate about racism during which she compares a caricature of a black student
with big lips, drawn by another student, to the Nazi's caricatures of Jews
with big noses. She then takes her students to the Simon Wiesenthal Center
to teach them about the Holocaust. Over the course of the movie, Erin finds
more ways to teach her students about racism and respect. As Erin begins to
listen to them in a way no adult has ever done, she begins to understand that
these kids believe that surviving is enough - that they are not delinquents
but teenagers fighting "a war of the streets" that began long before
they were born. For the first time, the teens experience hope that they can
show the world that their lives matter and that they have something to say.
