Hoop Dreams

“This FLOORED me, I didn’t even realize it was almost 3hrs. Hoop Dreams follows two basketball prodigies from inner city Chicago as they chase their dream of making it to the NBA. It’s shot over 5 years - documenting two young boys as they become young men, and their families as they navigate triumph and struggle. A cutting examination of class, race, and education in america, and the physical and psychological tolls of the pro sports pipeline.”

“Recorded years before college athletes got paid the big bucks, Hoop Dreams documented how inner city kids in Chicago got the chance for a wonderful education off the success of their basketball talent. Very fascinating to see where they ended up years later!”
