The documentary film festival is an annual event at the Homer Theater where Directors from around the world submit their works to be viewed. This year viewers had a large choice of documentaries to watch. From Senna, a “heroic story” that follows the Brazilian Formula-One Racing driver and three time World Champion, Ayrton Senna, to Project Nim, a sentimental story of a chimpanzee who was raised like a human child and subjected to extended study. But which, out of the nine films, was the best one? Which was the one most seen by students? I sought to answer those questions with a poll.
At the time the poll was taken, 32 students had attended the film festival.
Because of the restricting nature of the Educational System’s technology, the picture is blurred. I tried for hours to fix this but the “God of Technology” is smiting me. So here are the scores of people who loved the film for those of us not blessed with impossibly good eyesight: Project Nim:1, Soul Resonance: 11, New York: 3, The Interrupters: 3, Buck: 4, Being Elmo: 0, I Am: 8, Cave of Forgotten Dreams: 1, Senna: 1.
