This is the kind of story that inspires so many to chase a dream that is about as likely to attain as winning the lottery. It supports that narrative that sports are way more important than they actually are. If kids would only pursue education with this much tenacity, the world would be a better place. Sports gets enough glory in America.

Arthur Agee you are my hero. Just the best doc ever made hands down. Everything went right/wrong.

Hoop Dreams is an incredible film about following your passion and dreams and never giving up. It closely follows the story of a couple different boys who love basketball and dream of going to college and pursuing it in their future.

Hoop Dreams manages to hold in a ride worth taking and end it with so many sad moments that my heart can actually break from all these heartbreaking moments.

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's absolutely fascinating the story and evolution of these two kids through their basketball lives in high school. It's about life pure and simple with it's twists and turns that catch you off guard, the surprises both pleasant and heartbreaking. The two aspiring basketball stars engage you like few characters you will see in any documentary. And for the filmmakers to have such dedication over these years, the highest credit and thanks to them.
