Hoop Dreams
description Hoop Dreams Overview
Filmed over five years, this documentary follows two African American teenagers in Chicago as they pursue their dreams of playing professional basketball. It is a sprawling, deeply moving look at race, class, education, and the American dream. The films length allows for an incredible emotional investment in the subjects, making their triumphs and failures feel deeply personal. It is widely considered one of the greatest sports documentaries ever made, though it is about much more than just the game.
It is a must-watch for anyone interested in American sociology.
