Free `Freedom Writers' Tix for Teachers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - AMC Entertainment Inc., the nation's second-largest
theater chain, said Tuesday it will offer free tickets for teachers wanting
to see the movie "Freedom Writers," starring Hilary Swank.

The offer is good from Friday through Feb. 1 for teachers in grades
kindergarten through 12th who show a valid school identification or pay
stub.

The Paramount Pictures movie, released three weeks ago, stars Swank as an
idealistic English teacher who goes into a Long Beach, Calif., high school
and tries to overcome racial intolerance among her students.

AMC and Paramount said the offer was a way to honor teachers.

"We hope this will help express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for
all that they do, often with very little `thanks' in return," the Kansas
City-based exhibitor said in a news release.
