I recommend seeing this movie, if you haven't already. It was filmed in 2007. I saw it this weekend. I starting watching it expecting it to be an okay movie, but I was not expecting to be affected the way I was! It's been a while since a movie has made me tear up, and this made me tear up multiple times!!! Good film.

Here's the link to the movie's website

What was the movie about?

Description:
A gripping story of inner city kids raised on drive-by shootings and hard-core attitude - and the teacher who gives them the one thing they need most: a voice of their own. Dropped into the free-fire zone of a school torn by violence and racial tension, teacher Erin Gruwell battles an uncaring system in a fight to make the classroom matter in her students lives. Now, telling their own stories, and hearing the stories of others, a group of supposedly "unteachable" teens will discover the power of tolerence, reclaim their shattered lives, and change their world.

It doesn't sound amazing, but it was good!

Sounds kind of depressing

Well, that's why it's good... because it's a happy ending!

I finally got the chance to watch this movie last night. I came across it on Showtime. I agree I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did but it was really good. I think everyone should check it out!
