In 2021, Israel’s baseball team competed in the Olympics for the first time. With no media allowed in Tokyo’s Olympic Village, the players record their own experiences. Mostly newly-minted Israelis, they log unexpected battles against Antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Victory for Israel comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium.

Israel Swings for Gold follows the 2018 hit Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel , about Israel’s Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

Join us for the Canadian premiere of the documentary, and live panel to follow featuring Sportsnet’s Dan Shulman and Shi Davidi, Team Israel 2023 participant and former Toronto Blue Jay Spencer Horwitz, Team Israel Manager Nate Fish, and other special guests.

Doors Open: 7 p.m.
