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 #7
Neither Arthur or William got into the NBA, but did do other things with their lives. Both men had children, four each and William is still with the woman he had a baby with in the film Arthur had a couple of chances to get into the NBA but messed up for other roles like commentating on TNT. Both boys had gotten some type of money from the documentary being so popular, and that got Arthur and his family out of the ghetto. William had said he wasted some and gave the church, where he now works most of it. William is a pastor at a local church in Chicago. Arthur did a clothing line and had gotten some sponsoring from MTV and other companies. He mentors little children and works with them. William's brother Curtis who had a impact on him was murdered since the airing of the film. Other than that nothing else has exponentially happened. I was surprised to find out that Curtis died and that Arthur's father relapsed Arthur's kids are from different mothers and that also surprised me. All in all I'm happy that the boys are healthy and happy.

I agree with everything that you said Melissa. I wasnt shocked at how the boys turned out but I was shocked that Curtis was murdered and at what happened to Bo as well
