Review of Hoop Dreams (1994) by Joel A — 21 Sep 2016
A long but in depth documentary focusing on two African-American boys growing up in the slums of Chicago that are bent on making the NBA.
It focuses not on their home life but the pressure in high school & university basketball & the pressure put on them to perform.
This film captures the spontaneity of the boys & their heart & passion to play basketball. Rather stirring & inspiring but could have been a good 30-40 mins shorter.
