Hoop Dreams 1994
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Inequality is presented multiple times throughout this documentary. One particular instance that felt infuriating was when St. Joseph recruited Arthur only to drop him when tuition could not be paid. They used these kids to win titles and when they no longer suited them they drop them and refuse to release their credits.
Its hard to say whether these coaches/institutions were actually building meaningful connections with these players or just commodifying them.
