Name: A Hero for Daisy
Genre: Documentary
Rating: 6.6

I had the pleasure of watching this documentary at the Craftsbury Sculling Center in Vermont, along with other rowers from across the world. At the end of the film there was silence, except for one guy who was upset at Title IX and complained. So everyone got on his case, poking fun at him, until he left the room in a huff.

The next day I asked a few of the others what they thought about the film. Most did not understand what it was about. The general consensus was that the story jumped around, and no one understood why John Kerry was interviewed. 

I had the opportunity to watch the documentary again, getting a better understanding of the Chris Ernst story, Title IX and John Kerry. I think Chris Ernst is merely a rebel without a cause; title IX is dumb; and I still don't know why John Kerry was interviewed. A better title for this documentary would have been, Rich Girls at Yale Need Showers. 

To put things in perspective the local university kids, both male and female, bike, walk, or run to the rowing club twice a day, do their workout then go home - no showers, no buses and no grandstanding protests required!

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
