Throughout this semester we watched a lot of documentaries which was an eyeopener for us, since we did not know about world issues today. The genre all of the documentaries have in common is struggles and issues today. All documentaries had struggles in them, for example, The Times of Harvey Milk talked about gay rights and equality. The Day My God Died, talked about sex trafficking. An Inconvenient Truth talked about global warming, and so on. All theses documentaries gave me enough insight to understand the problems people and the world are facing. Problems that were not given enough attention and are not mainstream today. Some groups like global warming which was shown in An Inconvenient Truth are most serious and stronger issues because it affects the whole world. Global warming is killing a lot of animals and damaging the ecosystem, which is bad for the U.S. and other countries. All these documentaries have different issues that need to be noticed. I'm content that I watched these films because now I know more about world issues.
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!
