- If you haven't seen the movie, Freedom Writers,
- than I really suggest it.
- The movie shows the power of writen media at it's purest form:
- Journals.
- (it is also based on a true story, which makes everything cooler)
Troubled students wrote down their own stories in journals for their teacher to read
The teacher did not come from the same background as the students.
As the teacher was used to high-living and pearls,
the students were used to dropouts and gang violence.
By writing their stories and sharing their voice,
they used media to carry their stories
This not only enlightened their teacher,
but created bonds that lasted through gangs.
