Voices Unbound: The Story of the Freedom Writers

CFF-15 certification
DOCUMENTARIES
Director: Daniel Anker.
United States, 2009. 90 mins.
VOICES UNBOUND recounts the journey of a group of 150 at-risk youths from Long Beach California, who, in the mid-1990's, inspired by the Diary of Anne Frank, learned to rise above their circumstances by writing their own stories. Told entirely in cinema-verite, through the voices of the students themselves, the documentary goes far beyond the feature film "Freedom Writers" (Paramount, 2007) and explores the lives of the students beyond the classroom, and the ramifications and impact of telling one's story.
