Behind the barbed wire, baseball helped many of these people survive this humiliating ordeal. One man, despite his small size, became a very big hero. His name was Kenichi Zenimura. Today, he is commonly referred to as \"The Father of Japanese-American Baseball.\" This poignant documentary pays tribute to Zeni; however, it is much more than the biography of one man; it is the story of a legacy in which baseball helped transcend bigotry and hatred to bring pride and respect to Japanese-Americans who loved the game. Covering over 100 years of history, it is filled with great baseball memories, including wonderful anecdotes of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning time: 35 min.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOR HOME USE ONLY.\u003c\/strong\u003e For institutional use contact Chip Taylor Communications at chip.taylor@chiptaylor.com \u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\" href=\"https:\/\/janmstore.com\/products\/transcending-the-wat-misaka-story-dvd?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=0bab5ccd2\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Transcending: The Wat Misaka Story (DVD)\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHIP TAYLOR COMMUNICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":890647129,"sku":"040007","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/1933\/products\/DiamondsintheRough800.jpg?v=1626977706"},{"product_id":"gila-river-and-mama-the-ruth-mix-story-dvd","title":"Gila River and Mama: The Ruth Mix Story (DVD)*","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1942, 15-year-old Ruth Mix began volunteering on weekends at the Gila River Japanese American internment camp, and was the only Caucasian nurse’s aide in Butte camp hospital.
