Long Time Coming
2018, documentary, US, 88 min, dir: Jon Strong – Canadian premiere
Although long-forgotten, the 1955 Florida Little League season was a remarkable moment during an era of racial segregation and growing civil rights agitation. The all-black Pensacola Jaycees and the all-white Orlando Kiwanis met for the championship, as two teams of 12-year-old boys played baseball in an act of cultural defiance. Sixty years later, team members reflect on their different experiences of racism in the US South and what this game meant to them.
