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.

- u***c (1079)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseShipping was very fast, prompt. Packaging was excellent, the box set was packed in a larger box stuff with popcorn, unfortunately not the kind you can eat. The box set was described accurately, still in the cellophane wrapping. Great value. Seller communicated throughout the transaction. I highly recommend this seller.

Packaged arrived quickly, with new CD nestled in packing peanuts for extra protection. Lew also kept track of the shipping, which was very reassuring. I love the extra large CD case with its booklet insert and photography throughout. Mint CD, fast shipping, great price. Highly recommend seller!
- l***3 (55)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSuperb Packaging, fast shipping, as described and was a great value!

So I thank this seller and will be checking out more of this seller's items!! Thanks!!!!!
