This is the true life story of Jackie Robinson's historic signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers by executive Branch Rickey in 1946.

Chadwick Boseman  and Nicole Beharie are bring a reality to their roles and Jackie and Rachel Robinson making you think they were alive to really experience 1946 America while Harrison Ford has restored my faith in his phenomenal acting ability as Branch Rickey.

Alan Tudyk (formerly seen as Steve the pirate in Dodgeball) takes a risk and pulls it off by portraying the loud-mouthed racist Ben Logan.

This movie can be enjoyed by baseball and non-sports fans alike.  It is an amazing depiction of our racist history and the courage of a few to change to opinions of many.  I wonder if Jackie would have had the courage in today's wired world to stand up to the racism.

This movie made me laugh, cry and applaud those select few with courage to simply do the right thing.

I give this two thumbs up for equality for ALL humans.

Disclaimer-soapbox alert:  We are supposed to be the smartest species but sometimes we act foolish.  NO ONE is better than another and we need to celebrate our diversity (race/creed/sexual orientation/etc) so we don't turn into a Stepford society.
