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 of the gentlemen ever made it pro, but after doing research I found out that they both had shot to make it to the N.B.A. But both the men came up short William actually ended at one point training with Michael Jordan and had a shot to play for the Washington Wizards, but he ended up messing up his foot. Basically adding on to the injuries he already had in the past. Arthur also had a shot but he messes up all his chances, even a chance to work around the N.B.A as a sports commentator. Even though they both never went pro they both made money off the film. William ended up becoming a pastor at a church in Chicago, while Arthur came out with a hoop dreams clothing line. Arthur would also become somewhat of a spokes person for hoop dreams and would go to school to encourage student to do well so they can be successful. What shocked me was that both Williams brother Curtis and Arthur's dad Bo are now died, but I wasn't shocked to see how both the boys future turned out. I knew they wouldn't make it pro, but I am glad to see they are both doing well.
