The line-up of baseball players attending includes Shawn Green, Mike Liberthal and Justin Siegel along with the film’s director, Peter Miller, executive producer Will Hechter, and sports commentator and journalist Roy Firestone who will lead the Q&A following the 90-minute documentary.

Narrated by Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman, Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story brings to life the contributions of Jewish major leaguers and explores the special meaning baseball has had in the lives of American Jews. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the shattering of stereotypes.
