La Fundación: Baseball's Island

In a nation where a baseball glove is seen as the only ticket out of poverty, youth baseball academies recruit children with promises of MLB millions—often at the cost of an education.
La Fundación: Baseball’s Island follows a revolutionary nonprofit fighting to change the DNA of youth baseball on the island. While one talented athlete battles a bureaucratic nightmare for a U.S. student visa and another becomes a ghost in the MLB academy system, the film asks: what happens to the 98% who don’t make the league? This is the story of reclaiming childhood from the business of the “Big Leagues.”
