Freedom Writers: Hollywood Movie
Freedom Writers is a 2007 drama film starring Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton and Patrick Dempsey. It is based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by teacher Erin Gruwell who wrote the story based on Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach, California. The title is a play on the term “Freedom Riders”, referring to black and white civil rights activists who tested the U.S. Supreme Court decision ordering the desegregation of interstate buses in 1961.
