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!

Review #3: Seoul Train

Watching Seoul Train truly an eye-opener for me because I had no idea about what was going on in North Korea. I never knew about the struggles that the people of this country endured and that they were so bad that the people would go to any extent they had to just to get out. This short film also showed us how China unmercifully would get rid of and punish any North Koreans found in their country. I feel that watching this film was beneficial for the class because it made us more aware of world issues that may not affect the US directly but are good to be informed about.
