This touching and in-depth documentary takes a look at Kenny Jones, a volunteer basketball coach in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood. Focusing more on Jones' relationships with his players than with basketball itself, the filmmakers interview many members ofthe young team, providing a revealing look at the home and family lives of teens in this urban African-American neighborhood. Tracking the complex challenges the players face and the remarkable coach that shapes them, "Soul in the Hole" (1997) is a moving and important film.
