Opposite Field

It’s easy to mistake theater seats for bleachers when following this incredible true story of a scrappy baseball team from Uganda as they take on the challenge of becoming the first African team in the Little League World Series. Armed with fierce determination and a deep love for the game, the team’s resilience is strong, even as each victory seems to be met with a series of unanticipated setbacks. Life off of the field is just as challenging, as many of the young teammates take on very adult responsibilities. But under the spirited leadership of their coach George and with each other to lean on, the team embodies an infections spirit that proves undefeatable. Cheering encouraged, and — sports fan or not — likely inevitable.
