writing skills, they become a "family" and win a prestigious competition.

breaking the cycle of violence and poverty.

I was really amazed the teacher because of her patience and the way she
handled her pride when I saw first the video I didn’t liked the flow of the story I
felt boring but I still watch it because I was curious why the movie title is
“Freedom Writers” until I saw the part when the teacher assigned her students
to wrote their own story and they wrote their past experiences that part of the
movie when I started to liked it and I’ve learn some lesson from the movie

Overall, "Freedom Writers" teaches us about the potential for positive change
through education, empathy, and perseverance, and it emphasizes the
importance of believing in and supporting every student's potential, regardless
of their background or circumstances.
