FREEDOM WRITERS
I'll make this brief. 5 stars. Watch it. Own it. Everyone who lives in this country should watch this movie. It will make you angry, it will make you cry but ultimately, it will give you hope. Thank God in Heaven for the Mrs. Gruwells in the world.If you have often thought, "I just don't understand the gang mentality," watch this movie.
If you are worried that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, this movie.
If you care at all to understand how and why non-white races in this country feel disenfranchised, watch this movie.
If you don't believe that public schools are part of the problem more often than part of the solution, watch this movie. (And then go to UTube and watch this video of John Stossel's report "Stupid in America": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfRUMmTs0ZA
If you don't believe that one good teacher can make a real difference, WATCH THIS MOVIE.

That was a great movie. It shows a side of life that many, including myself, have never seen. Telling their story was a step in the right direction.
Thanks for suggesting I watch it.
You are welcome and I'm glad you felt the same way about it. I think this movie does for this generation what "To Sir With Love" did for a couple of generations back. We have come so far but have "miles to go before we sleep";o)
And thanks for visiting my lonely blog!!
