Review of American Promise (2013) by Ryan B — 28 Oct 2013
The best documentary of the year. Hoop Dreams meets The Kids Grow Up, this is a highly engrossing look at two young black boys as they navigate their way through school and into adulthood. Heartbreaking yet inspiring, it rivals most narrative films in dramatic scope while never feeling false or contrived.
For people who enjoy movies like the Up Series, this film is a masterwork.
