Tale Of Israel's WBC Baseball Team To Be Screened At RCBC

Rowan College at Burlington County will host a screening of “Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel” on Thursday, Oct. 17, 6 p.m. The documentary by award-winning director Seth Kramer tells the story of Israel’s national baseball team, as it competes for the first time in the World Baseball Classic.

The team’s roster includes many Jewish-American major leaguers, most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism. Throughout the film, the team laughs, cries and does much soul-searching, discovering the pride of representing Israel on the world stage.

The screening will take place in the Votta Hall Auditorium on the college’s Mount Laurel campus. A Q&A with Kramer, a co-founder of Ironbound Films, Inc., will follow.

Kramer, who has produced, written and directed award-winning documentaries for over a decade, has been nominated for three Emmy awards. This film has won five awards, including Best Documentary at the 2018 Gold Coast International Film Festival.

This screening is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome, and light refreshments will be served.
