Review of Zoned In by Julia Alvarez

The documentary of this film was about a young man who had a very hard life growing up. Eventually his mother decided to move them to the South Bronx in New York. As the years passed by Daniel got accepted into Brown University, and is succeeding in his life. Another film that could be compared to Zoned In would be Freedom Writers; it’s a documentary that watches students mature and graduate high school. The filmed Zoned In was really good, I just didn’t like how when we met Daniel he seemed so negative. In my opinion I think anybody should go and see the film Zoned In especially if they need some kind of inspiration, then they can look at Daniel’s story and his background. And I realized that if Daniel can make even in his previous situation anyone can make in this world.
