Freedom Writers (DVD, 2007, Full Frame)

As Erin Gruwell's sister I can attest that Freedom Writer's is a dead on account for what really happened at Wilson High School. What does it matter that there have been similar "teacher/student " success stories in the past? I hope this film encourages even more movies with this genre. Public education success stories give people hope. Erin and many of the 150 Freedom Writers worked very closely with writer/director Richard LaGravenese to get their story right. And they are thrilled with the results. How often to you hear that in Hollywood? Please watch this movie with an open heart and I promise you that you will feel wonderful when it is over. I am so proud of my sister and I am so proud of the Freedom Writers. To them I say congratulations, bravo and continue to fight with a pen and not a gun.
