Review of Soul of the Game (1996) by Matt G — 17 May 2018
One of the best baseball movies I've ever seen...yet no one seems to really know about it, which actually fits with the subjects of the film. Most mainstream Jackie Robinson movies are about the effect his life and career had on the world (aka the white community), but this one zeros in on the black community, specifically the Negro League athletes who set a path racial integration and had to watch someone else get the glory.
A strong story well-told, with a wonderful lack of sensationalism and tons of heart.
