The movie, The Freedom Writers, follows a teacher who unifies her classroom through literature. The class is made up of many teenagers of different races, most are even in a gang affiliated with their race. During this time period, in Long Beach, California there is a great deal of racial tension, including a gang war. It is a very dangerous place to be for everyone. In the beginning of the film, the students at Wilson High are very segregated in the classroom, sticking strictly to their racial groups. This intolerance comes mainly from personal experiences with other races, and what the teenagers are taught to believe by their superiors. Some of the problems these teenagers face are still common problems seen today.
