Exclusive: Screen Rant presents a clip from The League, a new documentary about the triumphs of Negro League baseball and the players it fostered.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Screen Rant is proud to present an exclusive clip from the ground-breaking documentary, The League, which examines the importance of the Negro Baseball Leagues to the Civil Rights movement. Examining both the great successes and difficult challenges, this documentary explores the rise and fall of the Negro Baseball Leagues in the first half of the twentieth century.
However, this documentary doesn't just focus on the baseball of it all; instead, it looks at the broader ramifications of the league and how it played into the Civil Rights movement. The fight for equality and justice was a pivotal part of how these people changed the game of baseball forever, leading into the Jackie Robinson era and paving the way for players to not only join the MLB but be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
More About The League Screen Rant's exclusive clip from The League features a recollection by Negro Leagues umpire Bob Motley. He explains that where he grew up in Alabama, the KKK was actively violent against African Americans working at night. He recalls cross-burnings and lynchings as a regular occurrence and laying on the floor with the lights out, hoping his family and home wouldn't be a target.
The League is directed by Sam Pollard, an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker. The League is executive produced by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Tariq Trotter, and produced by RadicalMedia. The League has a runtime of 103 minutes and is rated PG.
