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!

Spring Break Assignment: Writing Task #4: The Last Days of Left Eye


            The central idea of this documentary was Left Eye’s cleansing and her trip to Honduras to “distance herself from her problems and make a film about her life” as said in the film. She had gone through a series of problems that caused her to need a break from everything around her. She wanted her friends and family to embark on this 30 day journey with her and cleanse themselves along with her in more ways than one. She had them on a cleansing diet, they would do yoga every morning and they would talk to each other frequently because they had no distractions around them. Left Eye had hoped that this journey would be the thing to cleanse her of all her problems. But unfortunately was the place where she would lose her life.
