Coverage:

Hoop Dreams is an excellent documentary filmed by Frederick Marx, who spent eight years running 250 hours of footage to film two Chicago youths through high school.      Marx captures how far high schools went to recruit them out of junior high, and what lengths colleges went through to sign them. The film is interesting with it's candid interviews with the youth's families and their coaches, and of course there's plenty of basketball action. But it's no way a fairy tale -- Hoop Dreams  exposes the slimly underbelly of the business of sports at all levels and the industry's ethics.
