Jackie Robinson - A Life Story Movie
It is almost impossible to overstate the significance of Jackie Robinson's breaking of the colour barrier in major league baseball in the spring of 1947. It was one off the first and most important steps taken against racism and segregation. The amazing history of this gentle yet heroic man is at the heart of 'Jackie Robinson: A Life Story'. The programme features rarely seen game footage and photos as well as interviews with teammates, opponents and prominent African-American historians including Jackie's Dodger teammates Carl Erskine, Don Newcombe, Clem Labine, Duke Snider and Spider Jorgensen. Also featured are Monte Irvin, Yogi Berra, Dave Anderson, Mrs. Rachel Robinson (Jackie's widow) as well as historians Christopher Moore, Michelle Spruil and Howard Dodson.
