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 Times of Harvey Milk

The documentary The Times of Harvey Milk was an exceptional story. The struggles faced by Harvey and his incredible perserverence is inspirational. Anyone in his position, facing discrimination because of sexual preference would've given up. Running for Supervisor twice before actually winning was only one of the small demonstrations of his character. It was incredible to see him say he knew he could be killed at any given moment but not even that would stop him. He serves as an example of determination and how hard work can truly pay off. Although in the end Harvey Milk is assassinated, his legacy lives on. It was sad to see that a man like him would be killed so heartlessly. The documentary does an incredible job in showing how his death was not in vein and that he died a hero.

    Your reflection shows how much of an impact watching this film had on you. I agree that even though Harvey Milk was assassinated, his legacy still lives on.
