Whether they were fought on bloody fields of war, or the freshly mowed lawn of a baseball stadium, this film celebrates the tenacity of ordinary human beings, who have taken extraordinary measures to ensure that they leave the world a better place. This film explores Jackie Robinson's historic struggle to enter Major League sports as the first African American player of the modern era.
