Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesBaseball was so much more than a game for Reid when he was growing up. It was about belonging and being a teammate, despite having cerebral palsy. However, as Reid entered his teenage years, he started to feel increasingly like an outcast. In this intimately personal film, Reid explores the parallel between his adolescent loneliness and his ultimate rejection of the game he loved. Reid narrates his own story and uses his shaky movements to mirror both the physical and emotional experience of going through adolescence with a disability.
