American
Pastime
Format: DVD
Rating: PG
Runtime: 107 mins
Powerful story about the dramatic impact WWII had
in the home-front as Japanese American families were
uprooted from their every day lives and placed into
internment camps in Western US in the early 1940's.
Faced with a country that now doubted their loyalty
and struggling with their new situation, they turn
to baseball as a way to handle their plight and find
the strength to stand up for themselves becoming a
true symbol of honor and pride.
