The Hooping Life

Description More Details THE HOOPING LIFE is the first film that captures the origins and rise of modern day hula-hooping – a.k.a hooping. With an introduction by hooper (of basketball and hula alike) Shaquille O’Neal, the film illuminates eight extraordinary stories of hoop devotees who have embraced it as an art form, a teaching aid, and an instrument of redemption. From the streets to intimate clubs, to giant arenas, the film alternates between self-filmed video diaries, verité documentary footage, and spectacularly filmed performances. Filmed over six years and with 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. 70 Minutes BONUS FEATURE: Hoop Stories Gallery, Behind The Scenes, How To Make Your Own Hoop, Production Stills, Trailers, How To Hoop, Hoop Moves Gallery 45 Minutes Subtitles: Spanish, French English Closed Captioning for the hearing impaired Region 0 Format (Playable in ALL Regions) British electronic duo BASEMENT JAXX provides the buoyant score that captures the free-spirited nature of hooping, with additional music by The Scissor Sisters and an appearance by popular jam-band The String Cheese Incident.
