Freedom writers
I was actually watching this movie called the freedom writers online. I really think it is damn good. The movie is a lot on racism in the US at a certain point of time where racism was so bad and people from different races try to mark out their own space as much as possible and kills or beats up whoever that invades their space. This teacher who was new to this particular high school that was integrated in the sense of races actually tried to change the students perception of the racism thingy. She went through all oughts to show them that though they have different stories, backgrounds and races, they are still similar in ways. She also made them realise that there are many other people out there who had went through even more sufferings than them due to racism. This movie is actually based on a real story. In the midst of gaining their trust and to get to know them better, she actually got them each to write a journal. Their journals were put together and published as this book called the freedom writers. This book was published in 1999 if i didn't remember wrongly. Now, i really look forward to reading this book since the movie is so inspiring. I think whoever who read this post should go watch this movie. It is truely inspiring and motivating. I think it really teaches people to pick up their courage, step out of their comfort zones to find a new zone and challenge themselves to make a change or a turn in their lives. It also shows you that dreams do come true and somewhere out there, there is a place for everyone and that if you work hard to realize your dreams, someone out there sees you even if you feel that no one gives a damn about you and that dreams do come true. =)
