Directed by Richard La Gravenese in 2007 freedom writers became a movie which won an award and it was based on the book “the freedom writer’s diary”: How a teacher and 150 teens used writing to change themselves and the world around them by the teacher Erin Gruwell, this book is a real story about Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, California.

This film took place in the riots in 1992 when the wrestle among Latinos, Black and white people was never-ending.

I really like this film. First of all, the Role of the teacher is very inspired to us, because she all the time was firm with her ideas, unfortunately, at the beginning, it was not accomplish; however she could realized the students are capable to change their thoughts about the racial situation.

We, as future teachers, this kind of troubles can be come up in our classroom, nevertheless, the perseverance which the teacher had in every class to achieve the respect among them. It could be that the movie exaggerate some scenes in comparison with our country I mean, in the Chilean context, but really helps or realize that problematic students exist.
