Documentary filmmaker Sam Pollard's latest offering, The League, explores the vibrant history of Negro League baseball. He explains how his film fits in with his ongoing examination of the black experience in America. And he explains why Questlove's involvement was key to making the doc.
After months of stagnation, the AMPTP has asked the Writers Guild back to the negotiating table. Is there a deal to be made? Plus, Disney re-hires some familiar faces as consultants.
Then, director Sam Pollard discusses his new doc The League, which pairs his love of baseball with his ongoing examination of Black history, and discusses working with producer Questlove and the “uphill climb” of documentary filmmaking.
