Review of Hoop Dreams (1994) by Richard T — 23 Jan 2011
A documentary that follows the lives of two teenage African-American boys who dream of one day playing in the NBA. It's themes involve poverty, racism, family, hardship, and of course basketball. As the story unfolds and the film evolves we get a close and personal look at these boys who strive hard and conquer their demons in their attempt to reach their goal, we understand that the basketball is not just a sport to them, but it's their lives.
The fact that this was not even nominated for Best Documentary at the Oscars is shocking. It's a highly inspiring film and is worth the long duration.
