This film is family friendly.
After the devastating Eaton Canyon fire leaves families displaced, a Little League team becomes an unlikely anchor—carrying a fractured community through loss, recovery, and an improbable season.
Director's Statement
This film follows survivors of the Eaton Canyon Fire as they begin the long process of rebuilding their lives and rediscovering a sense of community through their children and the game of baseball. When my producer, Sue Cremin, and I first picked up a camera to follow the league, we had no idea what would happen. We simply knew this was a story worth paying attention to. Over the next six months, a journey unfolded that none of us could have predicted.
