Free Movie Night - "The Jackie Robinson Story" from 1950
Details
Jackie Robinson (playing himself) attracts the attention of Major League Baseball's Branch Rickey. Rickey wants Robinson to play in the minor leagues, believing he can become the first player to break the color barrier and play in the majors. The film highlights his struggles against intense racial prejudice and his promise not to fight back. Supported by his wife (Ruby Dee), Robinson is steadfast in his determination to win.
This is presented by the Center for Spiritual Living and Brookside Community Church as part of our Winter Film Fest.
