VALENTINE ROAD


Valentine Road is a documentary about a 2008 incident in which a student named Lawrence "Larry" King was killed at E.O Green Junior High School Larry was killed because he was gay.
The documentary exposes both Larry's background as well as that of his killer, Brandon McInerny. Larry was adopted and abused by his adopted parent and was taken into a group home. Brandon meanwhile, came from a family where his mom was a drug addict, and his parents often fought. The documentary also goes over how Larry was treated around school, and has his former classmates talk about what Larry was like. 
The documentary also follows Brandon's trial and how he must spend 21 years behind bars. The documentary also went over different things like how this incident is remembered as a day of silence, and the immense media coverage of the incident. Valentine Road is definitely worth a watch.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY APPLY!

Terms and Conditions May Apply was an informative documentary about the one thing that nobody reads but everybody agrees to, The Terms and Conditions. We learned that nothing is really ever private and everything that we've ever shared online is accessible. We also learns that Facebook is the CIA's greatest tool. Everything that is posted is watched by the government and they are able to use all posts however they want. 
When we agree to these terms, we are relinquishing all of our rights to all of our info.
This just goes to show that you should BEWARE WHAT YOU SHARE.
