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!

Review#3: Seoul Train
I wholeheartedly felt very bad for these people and wanted to help them as best as I could, but disappointingly I knew I had no control over the situation. The film was short but it had a lot of information and make progress quick, as to what the families had to do and where they went. The group of 7 was caught and I felt like I had to do something but I knew I couldn't Before the film I was unaware that China was so strict and people crossed to China instead of someplace else. Han-Mi and her family also pulled at my heartstrings but the men of the family got me mad when they didn't push the guards away. I wanted to strangle them and I didn't think they then deserved freedom. The man who out the plan together was very nice and I am happy there are people like him trying to help others. Helping people is the only way we could possibly think about world peace. I did not like how after people were caught we had no way of finding out where they were or what happened to them, I know it would probably result in death but I want to know for sure. All in all some made it and some did not, I feel sorry for everyone in this perdictament and I hope sometime in the near future North Korea will become a better place.
