At the hotel dinner for the kids, after their trip to the Holocaust museum, all of the Holocaust survivor characters are played by actual Holocaust survivors.
The real Erin Gruwell honors Hillary Swank for saying that she doesn't care about the money. She took a very sizable pay cut to do the film.
Based on the book called "The Freedom Writers Diary" by Erin Gruwell and the kids of Wilson High.
The "Toast for Change" scene in the movie Freedom Writers really did happen. Like in the film, Erin Gruwell gave each of her students a plastic champagne glass filled with apple cider. During their toasts, they all agreed to give themselves the chance to start life over.
Hilary Swank beat out her co-star in this movie, Imelda Staunton, for the 2005 Oscar for Best Actress.
"Miep Gies: But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room."
"Erin Gruwell: The evaluation assignment was to grade yourself on the work you're doing. You gave yourself an F. What's that about? Andre: It's what I feel I deserve, that's all. Erin Gruwell: Oh really? [pause] Erin Gruwell: You know what this is? This is a Fuck You to me and everyone in this class. I don't want excuses. I know what you're up against. We're all of us up against something. So you better make up your mind, because until you have the balls to look me straight in the eye and tell me this is all you deserve, I am not letting you fail. Even if that means coming to your house every night until you finish the work. I see who you are. Do you understand me? I can see you. And you are not failing."
