An ESPN film, directed by Al Szymanski, this documentary looks back at a 1982 Kirkland little league baseball team, lead by their star player, 13 year old Cody Webster and their rise to national stardom and the fall of Cody Webster dealing with the media and hecklers.
This is a historical documentary as Szymanski uses actuality from photos and home videos of baseball games.
The interviews are emotional as they interview Cody and his teammates on the good times and cry as their recall the tragic moments that Cody had to go through as a teenager. The technique for these interviews are different as each teammates interview has them center-framed and looking directly into the camera like a confessional room from a reality television show.
What is 'actuality from photos?'?
