  1. Quality
  2. Very Good 3.5

    5 years in the lives of two inner-city Chicago Boys (William Gates and Arthur Agee), who live, breathe, and dream basketball. You could see it in their faces, for example when Arthur gets his ear-to-ear grin when he met Isaiah Thomas during his first practice at St. Joseph’s. Where Hoop Dreams lacks in intensity, it makes up for in its full-picture view of the trials of the families involved; what the black urban life is like in the context of shooting for success in the white-man’s world. Basketball is a salvation for boys like these, and watching the journey unfold was inspiring.
