Not often do you come across a movie that is actually beautiful, the people the stories, the feelings, and it's based on a true story. No matter how many times I watch, Freedom Writers always makes me cry. The stories of these kids are so real and so compelling, and one woman standing in the thick of it all, trying to make sense and help. you can't help but feel compassionate. That one woman would go through so much to change peoples lives. it's amazing and wonderful.

True story about a young teacher (Hilary Swank) who comes to a rough part of inner-city Los Angeles in the mid-1990s and inspires her high school students through expression via personal writings. A wide range of ethnic and cultural divisions provide difficulties aplenty with gang activity and general mischief being the orders of the day and it is up to Swank to pull through the layers of grief, anger and despair to help her students not only succeed in the classroom, but also in life. Inspirational and a bit cheesy at the same time, "Freedom Writers" still uses a proved formula to work well for the most part. Swank is dominant (as she always seems to be) and she gets ample support from good young performers, a smart screenplay and adequate direction. 4 stars out of 5.
