“The only Western film ever to explore the Japanese Way of Baseball.”

Admission:  Free!

Synopsis: Taking Western viewers inside a never-before-seen world, “Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball” follows two schools of the 4,000 in Japan striving to make it to the National Championships at Koshien Stadium.   Much more just than a game, this martial arts baseball has a deeper purpose: the forging of the spirit.   Through the stories of two schools, the film brings audiences inside this closed world where an American game has become a Japanese discipline.
