Hoop Dreams
Directed by Steve James
William Gates: People always say to me, “when you get to the NBA, don’t forget about me.” Well, I should’ve said back, “if I don’t make it to the NBA, don’t you forget about me.”
It’s nice when a film lives up to all the hype you’ve always heard about it. The dedication of the filmmakers in following their subjects for the long haul is truly impressive. Of course, they were following rather compelling characters with interesting stories — that always makes dedication easier. A great film.
