I found A.K.A. Don Bonus to be an extremely fascinating film. There have been many different “coming of age” stories that I have seen, but never one that is a documentary that actually follows the student through his life and time at school. The fact that the camera strictly follows Sokly Ny through his life, as opposed to having interviews following many different people made this film even more intriguing. By only following one character actually as his life is going on, removes all biases and creates an extremely personally experience for the audience. The way this documentary was presented really made the film more interesting to watch by feeling like I was in the life of Sokly Ny, which evoked even more emotion from me to really try and feel as Sokly is feeling.
