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: The Ending of The Times of Harvery Milk
The ending of The Times of Harvey Milk was very sad and unfortunate to me. It was expected, but at the same time unexpected because the people of that time had believed that they'd overcome such violence and discrimination. Harvey himself even predicted his assassination in a way saying that he could be killed at any moment. But what was amazing about this was that even though he knew that he was putting his life in danger by standing up for what he believed in, he continued to fight for what he thought was right. He didn't let the fact that people were skeptical of having an openly gay person being elected into office stop him from running. He always went against the odds. Harvey Milk was a man who did a lot of great work and helped out many people in the process. He did not desreve this has the outcome of all his hard work.
