Hardwood Dreams Vols. 1 & 2

Narrated by Wesley Snipes (Blade: Trinity), this documentary recalls Steve James’ Hoop Dreams in its concentration on the trials and glory of an inner-city high school basketball team.

The boys train hard to realize their NBA dreams as they also face the challenges presented by SATs, the lure of gangs, and encounters with the law.

Volume 2 follows up with the players ten years later, to find out if their aspirations to turn pro panned out, and if all the hard work was worth it.
