Synopsis

On the tiny Caribbean island of Curaçao, a team has competed at the Little League World Series for an incredible nine consecutive years, defeating baseball powerhouses like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic to get to America. In the summer of 2008, the boys face injuries and obstacles to keep the winning streak alive.

Manager Vernon Isabella and his team learn the meaning of national pride as they travel from a humble island ball field to the international spotlight. In a newly autonomous country that was once the center of the Dutch slave trade, the accomplishments of children inspire a nation.
