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 #5
The documentary, Kicking It is very profound in it's message. Generally speaking, it's a sports documentary but it really shows underlying messages of exposing the serious homelessness issue that plagues many countries. What I liked the most about the documentary is that there was an emotional reach made. The establishment of the player's backstories and lives made it easy to sympathize with them. Another thing the documentary did that I liked is that it showed how teamwork and having a family of any sort can really help a person better themselves. Damien from the Homeless Irish team is a great example of that exactly having bettered himself and dropped his dependency and addiction soon after wining the third place cup in the tournament. This documentary was moving and tear jerking. A definite must watch.
