Get to know the real foundation of today's latin players history.Understand the struggleof the "old timers " .This film is a must for anyone who loves baseball and calls themselves ''latino".It is a wonderful tool of education for those who are latino also.

I enjoyed this movie throughly. If you enjoy baseball, especially if you are hispanic, you will love this movie. I really enjoyed the way they went back in time and showed the struggles of the black hispanic baseball players and the recisim they had to endure in the United States. The interviews were great and the snips of historical movies in between are well worth seeing. I highly recommend this movie. In fact I bought the movie so I can share it with friends and family.
