Hilary Swank plays teacher Erin Gruwell who enlists some unorthodox methods to teach her students at a gang-infested school in Long Beach, California. Initially unprepared for the brutality of her students' lives, Erin does not give up, but instead looks for a doorway into the hearts and minds of her under-privileged pupils. Earnestly avoiding sentimentality, this affecting story is based on the real Erin Gruwell's best seller, 'The Freedom Writer's Diaries: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them'.
