I saw this in theaters when it was released and still remember it now, 15 years later. That's how powerful the film is. The sheer amount of issues raised make a detailed review impossible in this space except for this: Hoop Dreams should be screened in all high schools (alongside Schindler's List and Citizen Kane) as required viewing for all Americans, not just those interested in sports.

This review of Hoop Dreams (1994) was written by on 04 Apr 2009.
