The Movie was one of the most powerful films I have ever seen. In my opinion it's the best movie to come out in years.

The soundtrack is a very rap oriented disc, with popular songs by 2PAC, Naughty By Nature, Cypress Hill and Montell Jordan. But there are 3 musical scores by Mark Isham that are simply masterful, and will compliment any soundtrack collection you may have. Isham's track Anne Frank is one of those tunes that express the movies sentiment, even without a visual aid. It's a truly heartfelt tune, that is one of the most aptly composed pieces ever to grace a movie. There are also 2 tracks with Miri Ben Ari, aka "The Hip Hop Violinist", one of todays most talented musicians and a true virtuoso.

But the gem of this album, the one track that makes this disc worth buying, is Will.I.Am's Dream featuring Common. Will.I.Am is one of todays most influential song writers, but this song, set to Martin Luther Kings "I have a Dream" speech, may be his best work to date.

A great movie with a great soundtrack, both should be a staple of any CD and DVD collection.

While the soundtrack is great, you must see the movie to truly appreciate it. The music makes the images and themes of the movie come alive with emotion and sensitivity. The story is inspirational both of the struggles the teacher had to connect with her students and the incredible challenges the students had to face in their day-to-day lives. Great soundtrack!

Anyone who has seen the movie(Freedom Writers) hears a track right at the movies end, with Martin Luther Kings voice, i have looked to purchase just that song with no luck, so finally purchased the full disc. The song is i got a dream, by Common, and Will I Am (from black eyed peas) That song is inspirational.
AND IT WAS WORTH IT USED, A GREAT PRICE, even with the shipping fee,
AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, IN MY MAIL BOX FAST.
Thank you, i finally have the song!
