Scenes from "Puray Boru: That's 'Play Ball' in Japanese," a documentary that will explore cultural clashes and challenges in baseball in the United States and Japan.
As with other imports from America, each country that plays the game adapts the sport to its own ways. What can you tell about a people -- in this case, the Japanese -- by how they have made "our" game their own? What can Japanese viewers learn about Americans from the way we watch and play? We will examine the relationship between the two cultures through the sport that unites them -- and separates them.
In mid 2009, I hope.
