Steve James basically has Roger Ebert to thank for his career. Ebert championed his 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams, and bemoaned the lack of attention it received from AMPAS. His Chicago-based 2011 doc The Interrupters was catnip for the Chicago-based critic, though he was one of many who praised James' work on that film, and Hoop Dreams, and many others. James' new film is entitled Life Itself, is released in the US on the 4th of July, and is about the late film criticism legend.
