Baseball Saved Us

Ken Mochizuki

Experience the inspiring story of Shorty and his family, who, along with thousands of Japanese Americans, are sent to an internment camp after Pearl Harbor. Fighting the harsh desert conditions, Shorty and his father build a baseball diamond and form a league to lift the spirits of the internees. Baseball becomes more than just a game to Shorty, as he gains dignity and self-respect in this ultimate rite of passage story. Cheering for the underdog has never felt so rewarding.
