Hoopland Documentary
by Chris Harvey on 05/27/09
Hoopland is a documentary film that follows the journey of student-athletes at the SEEDS (Sports for Education and Economic Development in Senegal) Academy in Senegal, Africa.
The goal of the Academy is to provide an opportunity for young people to excel in academics, basketball, life, and in being the next generation of leaders in their country and in the world. The staff at SEEDS works hard to find opportunities for the student-athletes to continue their journey at high schools and universities in the United States and in Europe.
One student-athlete, seven-foot Assane Sene, is the first from the Academy to pursue his dreams at a private school in Connecticut, pioneering the way for other participants of the SEEDS program.
The feature-length documentary was scheduled to come out in 2008, but still hasn’t been released. Below is a trailer of Hoopland.
