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!

Kicking it- Review #5

I enjoyed the film, and I learned a lot of new things. I never knew that there was a homeless world cup to begin with.I think that it is a good thing to have and it may inspire people to get off the streets. Having different countries compete is also a nice aspect to a homeless world cup. I am happy that people are able to do things they love, no matter if they have a bed to sleep in at night. Some of the stories pulled at my heart strings and the outcomes of the players lives after the cup was good. For instance, Damien a male from the Irish team recovered form being a drug addict. Others learned the meaning of family and friendship which are good things to witness and feel. Some bad outcomes were drug overdoses which ended a players life. Having known real life people who has drug over dosed, I know that it was no one's fault but the individual  The issue of homelessness is now being risen and I think that is wonderful and people should finally be off the streets.
