BASEBALL HARMONY, 49min., USA
Directed by Joo-il Gwak, Amy Hutchinson
Did you ever hear of a 9-year-old boy making a choice to become an orphan? This describes Kim, Young-do. Even his last name is borrowed from the owner of the childcare center where he was an orphan. However, he was never discouraged. Harmony in baseball? Yes. Kim Young-do's sense of humor, striking good looks, role as the team's lead hitter and baseball manager, and his unique background as an Afro-Korean-American, eventually all come together in perfect harmony.
