Latin American, Caribbean and Latino Film Festival: Los peloteros

Los peloteros by Jack Delano, story by Amilcar Tirado.

Shot in 1953 in a Puerto Rico that no longer exists. Ramon Rivero (Diplo), is Don Pepe, a man who no one, with the exception of kids, takes seriously. He becomes the coach of a group of poor kids trying to raise money for their baseball team. The very best of Puerto Rican cinema.

Presented by Dr. Guillermo Irizarry.
