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

Arthur and William both didn't get into the NBA. Arthur, 39, now has a sports clothing line and teaches  a "Hoop Dreams" curriculum to middle-school students through his foundation. William is now a pastor with his own church in Chicago. Arthur and William both saw their family members get murdered in the years after "Hoop Dreams" was made. Nonetheless, William has four children and his sons are currently being recruited to play basketball. They didn't get into the NBA, but they seem happy doing what their doing now.

    Were you all surprised on what happened to Arthur and William's family?
    Do you think it was because of the filming of "Hoop Dreams?"

    I was surprised that someone was killed. But his brother was a mean hard head, so he could of just crossed the wrong person.
