Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger's documentary chronicles the efforts of Israel's national team, composed entirely of Jewish-American players, to compete in the World Baseball Classic.
True stories are usually messier than what happens in fiction. Such is the case with the new documentary directed by Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger. Their film, about an Israeli team competing in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, could have been an inspirational sports tale. Or it could have been a farcical comedy about a national sports team in which not a single member actually hails from the country for whom they're playing.
"Ironically, it was also the rule determining who was a Jew in Nazi Germany," admits one of the team's coaches, sheepishly adding, "Maybe don't include that in your movie."
