The first sex scene between the two leads of a film about this activity is set to Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman’s Work” (15[1])by Kate Bush. A wide shot in a film about this activity depicts hundreds of empty chairs in a hall where one of the protagonists’ mothers celebrates her graduation as a nursing assistant. (15[1])In a Sight and Sound (15[1])essay that recounts watching a film about this activity in a theatre filled with white folk, bell hooks criticizes its (15[1])portrayal of Black fathers as “losers.” A Gina (15[1])Prince-Bythewood film about this activity, (15[1])at whose climax (15[2])(*) Q tells Monica “double or nothing,” is often (10[1])described as a “Black When Harry Met Sally….” Orchestral works by Aaron Copland form the score of a 1998 film about a felon whose son is skilled at this activity. A 1994 PBS special-turned-documentary (10[1])about this activity follows Westchester, Illinois high schoolers William Gates and Arthur Agee. For 10 points, name this activity central to He Got Game and Hoop Dreams. ■END■
