Freedom Writers, a story filled with the truth and violence, where gang violence and racial tension was everywhere. Between gang wars and dealing with physical abuse from their family; each Freedom Writer had their own horrible background. Left in a world where you only protect your “own,” one teacher brought her class together as a family. One teacher, who gave hope to a whole class that society had given up on. Freedom Writers started out with a bunch of stubborn, know-it-all ninth graders. Each happy to live another day. In 1994, Wilson High School was split in half based on your race.

Imelda was an excellent addition to the movie. She had that hard-strict face, one that meant work and no joking around.

These are all the sounds in the movie, "A Dream" by will.i.am and Common, "Listen!!!" by Talib Kweli, "It 's R Time [Lenky Remix]"by J. Ortega, "When the Ship Goes Down (Diamond D Remix)" by Cypress Hill, "Hip Hop Hooray” by M.
