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 #1 The Day My God Died

Th Day My God Died made me a lot more aware of sex trafficking in other countries. I think this  documentary was very sad because I don't believe that anyone should have to go through what those females went through in this story. Even though I was glad that I was more aware of what goes on in other countries and the hardship that these females faced, I felt very bad because watching this documentary made me want to help those specific females because I feel like the U.S should step in to prevent this from happening somehow. One part that really stood out to me was when I saw that females run some of these brothels. Because not only is it harsh to put another person through those things, but to actually be another female and rather than put yourself in her shoes they were actually encouraging it, which I found to be very shocking. I would like to watch more movies like this to inform me on problems going on not only in the U.S but in other countries.
