About this product

Product Information

One of the most critically acclaimed documentaries of all-time, HOOP DREAMS has become a model for how to construct a fact-based film, creating intimate and emotionally resonant portraits of its subjects while exploring the larger social issues that those subjects are negotiating with. The film focuses on William Gates and Arthur Agee, two teenagers from inner-city Chicago, and follows them for almost five years, the period where both enter and complete their high school careers. Both young men are talented basketball players, and as the title suggests, have their eyes on the college game and eventually the NBA as their best shot at escaping the poverty they grew up in. But as William and Arthur reach for their goal, they must contend with the pressing issues and difficulties of social class and racism, as well as the predatory practices of the basketball recruiters who entice the pair to attend their schools. In this way, HOOP DREAMS chronicles much more than just the individual experiences of two young men. It examines the larger problems that beset inner-city African-American families and how they cope with those difficulties through family support and friendship, as well as presenting a picture of the increasingly ruthless, big-business tactics of college and even high school sports. It remains a seminal documentary film, both affecting and thought provoking in its story of lives and dreams entangled by forces beyond their control.

    An inspiring story about life and basketball

    The story shows how the lives of two high school boys are very different, and it follows them through some of their college experiences. Both are African-American and from the inner city, and both are excellent ball players. The boys end up on two very different paths, and life's challenges interfere with their games. In the end, the lesson learned is that hard work pays off. Although the movie is long, it is never boring. Great for basketball lovers as well as older kids and adults of all ages. A good one for the family to watch together.

    Terrific!

    Great to have this on a DVD after years of watching the VHS. I recommend viewing this and then googling the updates on William Gates and Arthur Agee. Gates is now a minister in Chicago and was a dedicated Christian during the filming of his high school career--it's wonderful to see he made a good life after coming out of the Cabrini Greens projects.
