i'm hoping it's better than dangerous minds. the story is real and happened in long beach where i'm from. Erin Gruel taught at Wilson Classical HS, the rival school of Long Beach Poly where I taught. Although both schools are magnet schools, we both saw the same violence in and out of the classroom. The movie is drawn from the book her students wrote which is chock full of raw emotion and true grit. Oh that sounds so Siskel and Ebert hunh?
