{Hoop Dreams} [FINAL]

The film is about two African American boys names William Gates, and Arthur Agee.
This documentary shows their passion for basketball and how they struggled getting through school with a good GPA. This took place in Westchester Illinois, which is said to not be a very safe city.

William suffered through knee injuries through out his life which made it very difficult for him to live up to his dream of being an NBA star. Arthur had major family problems because his dad was on drugs for a short period of time and got sent to jail, which probably had a big effect on Arthur. They were both born in a poor neighborhood and went to a school with a poor education, but then went to a better one later on. They had a hard life growing up and still managed to get by school with time and effort.

William Gates barley graduated but actually did and became a pastor. Arthur Agee who also struggled through school became a person who helps kids make the right choices in life and not fall into a bad situation. They both still play basketball for fun because they still have a passion for it. In the end they grew up and had a decent life.
