The story of the blockade goes MUCH DEEPER than this flyweight docu indicates. Baseball players? Really. I suspect that the Hollywood guys behind this project think that´s “sexy”. It´s not. It´s superficial. They are probably also responsible for choosing a young, lightweight, if nice, WOMAN as the narrator, in keeping with the PR mandates of our times.
