Hardwood Dreams - Part 1&2

Documentary about high school basketball in LA. From the producers of Coach Carter, with narration by Wesley Snipes, Hardwood Dreams takes an no-holds-barred look at the world of high school basketball in inner-city Los Angeles. Starting in 1993 with Inglewood's Morningside High School Varsity team, Hardwood Dreams Part 1 takes a season-long look at 5 of the players from the then city championship side, as they pursue the retention of their title while battling with the distractions of gangs, egos, underage drinking, and brushes with the police. Hardwood Dreams Part 2 re-visits the same 5 men a decade later to find what has become of the high school stars and if any of them made it to the NBA. Critically acclaimed when first broadcast by Fox in 1994, Hardwood Dreams paints an honest portrait of the pressures on young men who attempt to escape their impoverished environs via sport.
