Freedom Writers 2007
a review that sums up my feelings neatly: “It is very easy to disregard Freedom Writers on the grounds of its white saviour narrative, but it would be a shame to overlook this true life tale of a teacher going against bigoted, elitist colleagues in order to fight the corner of a class of underprivileged youths so that they receive a standard of education they’re so cruelly deprived of”
…oh, and: her husband is a douche.

this film beautifully captures the essence of finding peace in the business of this world, and the small wonders all around us if only we take a minute to look.
thank you wim, and thank you koji.
