Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel

Plays Sunday, May 13 at 4:00 PM - Part of the Ann Arbor Jewish Film Festival

Follow the journey of Israel’s underdog national baseball team, which finally ranks among the world’s best in 2017 and finally qualifies to play in the World Baseball Classic. The line-up is filled with Jewish American Major League players with a tenuous relationship to Judaism, who journey to Israel for the first time where they are greeted as heroes. They then move on to the competition round in Seoul, where the odds and the team’s reputation are against them.
