Freedom Writers is inspired by a true story and the diaries of real Long Beach teenagers after the LA riots, during the worst outbreak of interracial gang warfare. Two-time Academy Award© winner Hilary Swank stars as Erin Gruwell, whose passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by a group of Black, Latino, and Asian gangbangers who hate her even more than each other. When Erin begins to listen to them in a way no adult has ever done, she begins to understand that for these kids, getting through the day alive is enough -- they are not delinquents but teenagers fighting "a war of the streets" that began long before they were born. Erin gives them something they never had from a teacher before -- respect. For the first time, these teens experience a hope that maybe, they might show the world that their lives matter and they have something to say.
Cast: Hilary Swank, Imelda Staunton, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Glenn

Manila Zoo
I have never been to Manila Zoo for a long time already ... As I have remembered before, Manila Zoo is really different now. I think that there are
lesser animals now compare to before ...
The only elephant found in Manila Zoo called Mali..
