Story of Jackie Robinson.
Jackie Robinson : You want a player who doesn't have the guts to fight back?
Branch Rickey : No. No. I want a player who's got the guts not to fight back. People aren't gonna like this. They're gonna do anything to get you to react. Echo a curse with a curse and, uh, they'll hear only yours. Follow a blow with a blow and they'll say, "The Negro lost his temper." That "The Negro does not belong." Your enemy will be out in force... and you cannot meet him on his own low ground. We win with hitting, running, fielding. Only that. We win if the world is convinced of two things: That you are a fine gentleman and a great baseball player. Like our Savior... you gotta have the guts... to turn the other cheek. Can you do it?
Jackie Robinson : You give me a uniform... you give me a, heh, number on my back... and I'll give you the guts. - DirectorJon FavreauStarsJon FavreauRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonA head chef quits his restaurant job and buys a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing back together his estranged family.Age 13+

Great move to help me wonder at the universe. I love the opening scene. "If the universe if grander than all our dreaming, what about life, what if it had meaning. The wildest thought we could ever entertain of conceive is not knowing the universe, but that the universe would want to know me. Some find it odd, but could there exist that kind of God?" - DirectorChristopher Dillon QuinnTommy WalkerStarsPanther BiorJohn Bul DauNicole KidmanThree young men from Sudan embark on a journey to America after years of wandering Sub-Saharan Africa in search of safety.Age 13+
