Freedom Writers (2007)
Die angehende weiße Lehrerin Erin Gruwell bekommt eine Anstellung an der Wilson Highschool in Long Beach. Sie soll einen Englischkurs mit von der Schulleitung längst abgeschriebenen Problemkindern ausländischer Herkunft unterrichten, deren Alltag aus Gewalt, Rassismus und Drogen besteht. So hat Erin es am Anfang nicht leicht, sich gegen die jungen Wilden durchzusetzen, doch nach und nach gewinnt sie den Respekt der Kinder und schafft es, die Klasse von ihrer Perspektivlosigkeit zu befreien.
