Freedom Writers?

anybody interested in seeing this? I think it looks good, like a modern day Stand and Deliver....

this is from wiki:

"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 street gangsters 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 they might show the world that their lives matter and they have something to say. The film has been compared to the 1995 film Dangerous Minds."
