The Untold Truth


"The Untold Truth will show the overall history of the Negro Baseball Leagues; from newly freed slaves playing the game in the fields they once sowed, to the inventions of the batting helmet and night baseball that came from the Negro Baseball Leagues, to the thriving hotels, jazz clubs, and restaurants that supported 'Black Baseball,' to the most “Ironic” moment in sports history, and finally, an examination of the players, coaches, and owners from the leagues that spawned a bridge and legacy to so many success stories in today's sports, music, entertainment, and political fields. Using interviews with iconic figures from today’s pop culture to tell the story, the film brings social awareness to the Negro Baseball Leagues; the great achievements, undeniable facts, and true life stories that have been lost, forgotten, deemed not important, and to some…invisible."
