In the aftermath of the Rodney King riots, Wilson High School in Long Beach, California was filled with racial tension and gang violence. Freshman English teacher Erin Gruwell (Swank) wasn't prepared for the angry and mixed group of students that entered her classroom, but she was determined she would get through to them one way or another. After giving each teen a journal to write their daily thoughts and feelings, the young Freedom Writers discovered, through the magic of words, that there was a whole new world out there for them. Based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell. (Tricia Spears)
