BACK 2 THE BALCONY EP#111- HOOP DREAMS!

This week on the show - we are covering the film HOOP DREAMS with special guest: MICHAEL BURGETT of the SCREEN NERDS PODCAST! Every school day, African-American teenagers William Gates and Arthur Agee travel 90 minutes each way from inner-city Chicago to St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois, a predominately white suburban school well-known for the excellence of its basketball program. Gates and Agee dream of NBA stardom, and with the support of their close-knit families, they battle the social and physical obstacles that stand in their way. This acclaimed documentary was shot over the course of five years. Hear our take on the film and on the critique of SISKEL AND EBERT.SUBSCRIBE TODAY!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalconySCREEN NERDS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/screen-nerds-podcast/id1489559689
