    THE FREEDOM WRITERS

    The movie is about a teacher who got her first teaching job in a high school where her students
    are from juvenile centers and included in minority groups, aside from that an active gang war between
    the different minority groups are present in the community, as the movie progresses we see how much
    Ms. Erin Gruwell struggles to keep the class in order and to ask for support in other teachers, but amidst
    her struggles she managed to keep the class in order and unite them as one, and even without the
    support from the school itself. The movie shows a lot of minority groups in America, and on how they
    view themselves to be different and how others view them as different as well, they survive everyday of
    their lives trying to be safe from each other’s gangs. The movie opened my eyes as to what these young
    people face every day, to what is their environment and to what are their homes like, it made me see
    how some of us are very lucky to live in secure communities and to have a family to come home to, and
    it was very sad that most of them think that the situation they are in is “kill or be killed”. The part in the
    movie where the holocaust was introduced where the students where shown what hate towards
    another race looks like when they visited the museum, it was clear to them what it feels or what can it
    lead to when hatred towards another race can lead to. My favorite part of the movie is when Miep Gies,
    the woman who sheltered Anne Frank was invited to meet the students and be a guess to their school,
    since many of the students like her in the Diary of Anne Frank, they were eager to meet her, and as
    someone like Miep Gies who understood what being oppressed feels like, connected to the students as
    she said that they are heroes every day, that they have to face what they face and they are brave enough
    for that. What I liked most about the film is the essence of hope that Ms. Erin Gruwell gives to these
    young men and women, that most of the adults even their parents and teachers already gave up on
    them but Ms. Gruwell never did, she had hope for every single one of them that they can be so much
    more than what others say they are, it was truly a wonderful experience to watch this movie, I feel
    moved and make me think that there are still good people around us. In relation to our subject, Project
    Management, the part in the film where they organized multiple fund-raisers for them to fund the trip
    for Miep Gies to come all the way from Europe to America, you can see in the movie how they each
    prepared for all their projects, and how all these projects came into fruition and was fruitful when they
    managed to raise enough money to meet Miep Gies in person. I think that the moral story of this movie
    is to always have hope, whether within yourself or to others, because people tend to give up easily on
    themselves when others give up on them, but when someone believes in them they start to believe in
    themselves once again, it is important to guide people and to not give up on them and to give them
    hope.
