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 #3- Luisa Posada

The ending of the documentary The Times of Harvey Milk had both a negative and positive impact on me. Throughout the film, the main theme was the fight towards right, but the end shocked me, as well angered me. When Dan White was not given a proper sentence for his crime, it infuriated me, and it made me question whether there is justice at all. However, the legacy that this man left, and the message he sent through his work was permanent. Many people considered him a hero, and that is not an overstatement. During those times, the work the Milk did was courageous. The grief that Harvey's friends felt was emotional, but the inspiration and motivation they gained gave me a sense of hope for our generation, and the future ones.

    I agree with you that his sentence was not proper. What makes you think that he deserves more though?
