Hilary Swank

She was assigned to teach basic English for the sophomore class and knowing the students in the class are having the racial conflicts. As an idealistic young teacher, she tries to solve the racial conflict among her students and making education their primary target in life in school by encouraging her students to keep personal journals so that they can then share their innermost feelings with each other in a peaceful way.

Freedom Writers

This movies is inspired by true story of Erin Gruwell and her Freedom Writers. There are ones that stick to the truth no matter how dorky and corny that truth is, run the risk of being completely unbelievable. And the more lovey-dovey it gets, and the more you sit there and go, No way, the more it piles on the heart warmth, daring you to call it a liar. But apparently, everything in this movie more or less happened the way they say it did, at least according to the press notes (which, you know, never lie), in which they quote the real-life teacher about how she turned her classroom into a little family.

Freedom writers is based on a community in California not on Long Island.
