212 - Hoop Dreams

from 1001 by 1 Hosted by 1001 by 1

This week we find ourselves on the street courts in Chicago and delving into documentary filmmaking by discussing the seminal 1994 film “Hoop Dream”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we talk about Academy Award voting politics, the socio-economic events surrounding the lives of William Gates and Arthur Agee, and the personal moments captured in this film. Plus, DID WE CREATE A NEW AWARD FOR THE SHOW??? Also, this week Adam and Joey recommend “OJ: Made in America” (currently on Netflix) and Britt recommends “Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror” (currently on Shudder).
