This dramatic movie stars Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Stephen Henderson, and many more. Based in 1950s Pittsburgh, a man working as a sanitation officer once dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Sadly, when he was young enough to play it was still illegal for black athletes to play professional sports. To make matters worse, he may have ruined his son’s chance to make it in the big leagues. This movie does a really good job at showing people overcoming obstacles despite the odds, and also analyzes racism in America. The movie was very well directed with a comprehensible storyline and likeable characters, too. I would rate this film 4.5/5 stars. @The_Reviewer of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
