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- Kicking It
Kicking It is a powerful and moving documentary that follows the Homeless World Cup, which took place in South. The main purpose of this event is to bring motivated homeless men and women together for a common sport, and to celebrate their hard work. The documentary exposes the lives of several men from different countries, including Ireland, Russia, Kenya, US, Spain, and Afghanistan. This was something I thought made the documentary even stronger; the fact that the experiences shown were from men from different backgrounds. The fact that the stories behind each men were shown, created a stronger connection with the audience, providing a deeper understanding to their lives.
