A story of inner-city kids raised on drive-by shootings and hardcore attitude -- and the teacher who gives them the one thing they need most: a voice of their own. Récit sur des jeunes d'un quartier déshérité qui ont gradi dans les coups de feu et un voisinage de durs à cuire -- et sur l'enseignante qui leur offre ce dont ils ont le plus besoin : une voix pour s'exprimer.

Based on the book "The Freedom Writers diary: how a teacher and 150 teens used writing to change themselves and the world around them" by the Freedom Writers and Erin Gruwell. Special features: Feature-length commentary by director Richard LaGravenese and actor Hilary Swank; deleted scenes; featurettes; theatrical trailer; photo gallery.
