Art Linkletter c. 1950
From the streets, to intimate clubs, to giant arenas, THE HOOPING LIFE alternates between self-filmed video diaries, verité documentary footage, and spectacularly filmed performances. Filmed over six years, and featuring an appearance by late hoop-promoter and TV personality Art Linkletter, the film celebrates the healing power of movement and the spirit of human inventiveness.
