The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (2001)

Following the career of Jewish baseball star Hank Greenberg from his beginnings in the Bronx to his success in the Texas minor leagues to his signing to the Detroit Tigers in the 1930s, this documentary recounts the inspirational tale of an American hero. Including nearly 50 interviews with Greenberg himself, his family, other players, celebrities, fans, and public figures, the film uses older film clips and excerpts from Hollywood movies popular in Greenberg's day, accompanied by a spirited soundtrack of songs from the 20s and 30s.
