Hoop Dreams is a 1994 documentary film about two African American boys William Gates and Arthur Agee. This movie describes the situations that led William and Arthur to be what they are today. It describes the lives of these boys from school to college highlighting the role of the family, church, education, media, etc. in their dreams of becoming the NBA players. Thus, this paper will focus on the role of various agencies and structures in the life of these boys and their families. The movie is not only about the dream of the two boys but if you see it through a wider lens, it is about ambition, race, class, values involved, and personal determination that help these boys to hope to achieve their goal one day. Now if we sum this up in one sentence then it is the role of agency and structure in the lives of these boys and their families that help the hope to not die in them.
