Review #4: Hoop Dreams

Hoop Dreams is a documentary that follows to young men Arthur and William through their high school careers. These are to boys that both shared the same dream of making it to the N.B.A. But growing up in tough Chicago neighborhoods both these boys faced very hard times throughout their high school careers. With the added pressure to their shoulders the filmmakers show use the struggles that these to boys had to overcome while still trying to make their dreams come true. As a basketball player I was very interested in this film and was really able to connect to these two young men throughout the documentary.
