DOCNZ Focus will commence on Tuesday the 29th at 6:30pm at the Academy Cinemas with a screening of Hoop Dreams, one of the most loved classic documentaries. Made in 1994, the film follows the lives of two African American boys who struggle to become college basketball players on the road to going professional. Hoop Dreams was nominated for an Oscar and won numerous awards and voted the # 1 documentary film ever made by the International Documentary Association.
The NZ Breakers will attend the screening and take part in the discussion which will follow it. Come and meet Coach Andrej Lemanis and the Breakers Tony Ronaldson, Phill Jones, Tim Behrendorff, and Adam Tanner.
