      abstract = {A true story about a teacher in a racially divided school  who gives her students what they've always needed, a voice.  Erin Gruwell comes to a southern California high school  bubbling over with naive optimism. She quickly discovers  that her unruly classroom is not easily won over by her  good intentions. After a few floundering attempts to  connect with her students, Gruwell gives them the  assignment of keeping journals about their own lives, This  assignment is something that the class can bite into with  relish. This eventually bonds them together and pushes  racial rivalries aside. Draws heavily from the published  journals of the real students themselves.},
