Join us for our charity movie screening, showing noted film
"Freedom Writers". "Freedom Writers" is inspired by a true story
and the diaries of real Long Beach teenagers after the Los Angeles
riots, during the worst outbreak of interracial gang warfare. Two
time Academy Award winner, Hilary Swank, stars as Erin Gruwell
whose passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by her Black,
Latino and Asian students who hate her more than they hate each
other. When Erin begins to listen to them in a way no adult has
ever done, she begins to understand that for these kids, getting
through the day alive is enough -- they are not delinquents but
teenagers fighting "a interracial war of the streets" that begun
long before they were born. Erin gives them something they never
had from a teacher before -- respect. For the first time, these
teens experience a hope that maybe they might show the world that
their lives matter and they might have something to say.
