Hoop Dreams - Film Tickets

Hoop Dreams - Film is a landmark documentary directed by Steve James and produced by Frederick Marx, Steve James, and Peter Gilbert. Spanning 171 minutes, this feature-length portrait began as a 30-minute PBS piece and evolved into a powerful exploration of youth basketball, dreams, and the realities of life in Chicago.
