Higher Goals serves as an interesting companion piece to Hoop Dreams, bringing in NBA star Isiah Thomas. It’s not your typical sports documentary, more like a PBS special that mixes education with entertainment. The pacing is brisk, capturing the attention of young viewers while stressing the importance of academics over the fleeting glory of professional sports. It balances uplifting messages with a dose of reality, which makes it distinctive in its approach. The performances are genuine, especially from Thomas, who delivers relatable insights, making it an engaging watch for aspiring athletes.
Higher Goals is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, especially as it was produced for PBS and doesn't have a wide release history. Finding it on VHS can be a bit of a hunt, and its educational angle makes it an interesting piece for sports documentary enthusiasts. It's not the most common title, so there’s a certain appeal for collectors who appreciate these niche, educational narratives from the early '90s.
