Hoop Dreams - Official Trailer

Out now on Blu-ray: shop.dogwoof.c...
Two ordinary inner-city Chicago kids dare to reach for the impossible - professional basketball glory - in this epic chronicle of hope and faith. Filmed over a five-year period, Hoop Dreams, by Steve James, Frederick Marx, and Peter Gilbert, follows young Arthur Agee and William Gates and their families as the boys navigate the complex, competitive world of scholastic athletics while dealing with the intense pressures of their home lives and neighbourhoods. This revelatory film continues to educate and inspire viewers, and it is widely considered one of the great works of American nonfiction cinema.

Amazing movie, one of the best documentaries ever made. The Oscars didn’t even nominate this masterpiece of a film for Best Documentary when it should’ve won. Shame on the Academy!

[@thecinematicmind]

Nominated for Best Editing, but not for Best Documentary Feature or Best Picture. Thanks “Academy”

How are the extras? Tell us about them 🙏

[@andrewsandoz8005]

Great film. High school level players' dreams of becoming NBA stars. The truth is very few make it. The dialog and mind set of these players and their families is almost unrealistic. They project this over confidence that they will become NBA players. What about the ones that don't? Plan "B"?

Is this really a restoration? 4:3? Criterion looks way much better

[@f5851]

No, this is the original trailer. The restoration is the exact same as the Criterion
