Hoop Dreams
A revealing insight into the world of elite basketball.
Overview
Originally released in 1994, Steve James documentary Hoop Dreams is as relevant today as it was back then. The focus is on two inner city teens from Chicago called Arthur Agee and William Gates who desperately want to become basketball superstars. Both are recruited into the same privileged high school as their idol, former Detroit Piston player Isiah Thomas but that's only the beginning of the story.
In the almost five years it took to make the film we watch the boys grow into men and face plenty of challenges along the way. A revealing insight into the world of elite basketball.
