Synopsis

This documentary follows two young African-Americans through their high school years as they perfect their skills in basketball in the hopes of getting a college scholarship and eventually play in the NBA.

Arthur Agee and William Gates both show great potential and are actively recruited as they look to enter high school.

They start off at the same high school but unable to pay an unexpected bill for tuition fees, Arthur has to withdraw and go to the local public high school.

The film follows them through their four years of high school and their trials and tribulations: injuries, slumps and the never ending battle to maintain their grades.

Through it all, their hoop dreams continue.

The soundtrack for Hoop Dreams felt repetitive and uninspired, lacking the emotional depth needed to truly capture the struggles and triumphs of Arthur Agee and William Gates.

On the other hand, some of the tracks in the soundtrack of Hoop Dreams feel a bit repetitive and generic, lacking the depth and originality needed to truly elevate the documentary. While the music serves its purpose in conveying the intensity of the story, it falls short in leaving a lasting impact or memorable impression on the audience.
