Welcome!

This is the blog of The Renaissance Charter School's senior elective class, "Delving Into Documentaries." This blog was put together in the spring semester. In the fall semester, we watched Food, Inc.; Forks Over Knives; GasLand; and An Inconvenient Truth. Students wrote reflection papers, journal entries, and essays. Instead of these assignments, this semester, students will write on this blog. After each film, they will post a review/critique. Each week, they will post a response to a controversial question related to the film we are currently studying. Visit our Wiki to learn more!

Reflection #2- Luisa Posada

Before I saw the film, I have only heard a few stories about Harvey Milk. I did know that he fought for human rights, specifically gay rights, and that he worked in San Francisco. However, there weren't many facts I knew about him, therefore this documentary was the first source of information for me about Milk. Since I knew that there was a movie about Harvey Milk, I was expecting this documentary to contain evidence and statements from close friends, without much editing or twists. Throughout the film, I enjoyed short parts where Harvey talked, and it is a shame that there weren't many of them. This documentary could have been better if it was made when Harvey Milk was still alive. His opinions and perspectives could have made this documentary the best it could be.

    I think you are right that it would be better if he was alive, but if he was alive would it still make such an impact? ****Amanda there were no other Reflection #3's so i posted a comment here******

    I can connect to everything that you said because I did not know much about Harvey Milk as well
