7:00PM : Israel Swings for Gold

2023 - 1 h 18 mins - Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller, Jeremy Newberger - US - English & Hebrew

In 2021, Israel's baseball team competed in the Olympics for the first time. With no media allowed in Tokyo's Olympic Village, the players record their own experiences. Mostly newly minted Israelis, they log unexpected battles against anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Victory for Israel comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium. Israel Swings for Gold follows the 2018 hit Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, about Israel's Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. Come early for some fun, baseball themed snacks! And don’t miss the post-film talkback session with Nate Mulberg (Israel Baseball Americas), who served as one of Team Israel’s Olympic coaches, and Seth Kramer, one of Israel Swings for Gold’s directors.
