Watch: Freedom Writers 2007 123movies, Full Movie Online – It’s 1994 in Long Beach, California. Idealistic Erin Gruwell is just starting her first teaching job, that as freshman and sophomore English teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School, which, two years earlier, implemented a voluntary integration program. For many of the existing teachers, the integration has ruined the school, whose previously stellar academic standing has been replaced with many students who will be lucky to graduate or even be literate. Despite choosing the school on purpose because of its integration program, Erin is unprepared for the nature of her classroom, whose students live by generations of strict moral codes of protecting their own at all cost. Many are in gangs and almost all know somebody that has been killed by gang violence. The Latinos hate the Cambodians who hate the blacks and so on. The only person the students hate more is Ms. Gruwell. It isn’t until Erin holds an unsanctioned discussion about a recent drive-by shooting death that she fully begins to understand what she’s up against. And it isn’t until she provides an assignment of writing a daily journal – which will be not graded, and will remain unread by her unless they so choose – that the students begin to open up to her. As Erin tries harder and harder to have resources provided to teach properly (which often results in her needing to pay for them herself through working second and third jobs), she seems to face greater resistance, especially from her colleagues, such as Margaret Campbell, her section head, who lives by regulations and sees such resources as a waste, and Brian Gelford, who will protect his “priviledged” position of teaching the senior honors classes at all cost. Erin also finds that her teaching job is placing a strain on her marriage to Scott Casey, a man who seems to have lost his own idealistic way in life..
Plot: A young teacher inspires her class of at-risk students to learn tolerance, apply themselves, and pursue education beyond high school.

“Nice Pearls…But I wouldn’t wear them in the classroom.”
What a great beginning to 2007 to see this tremendous film, THE FREEDOM WRITERS, with a stunning performance from Hilary Swank and a cast of young men and women who make you “cheer and cry” all through the film for their stories and their personal journeys. And what a timely film to come out in Los Angeles when our mayor has recently gone to the Feds and asked for more money to handle the intolerable gang issues in Los Angeles.

Richard LaGravenese has delivered an infectious film that deals with real issues of teachers and American education today, and to watch these young students grow into productive lives, as well as to see how they can learn when given the chance by a teacher who believes in them and their abilities to learn, is tremendous.

The music, dialog and the location of Long Beach all make THE FREEDOM WRITERS click and adding in the personal history of the persecution of the Jews and Anne Frank’s own diary, was such a marvelous way to make the students see that their own lives were similar to others who have lost love ones to the evils of war and destruction.

THE FREEDOM WRITERS, like BOBBY, gives a picture of what happened in the 1960’s in the South, and like those who lost their lives to help others, these new LONG BEACH, California FREEDOM WRITERS are on a path to ensure “change” is just not a word, but an action.
