much respect ... great movie.

I'm recommending this to all my friends who are true baseball fans. I loved the fire and intensity these kids showed for the game. I also think we here in the US could learn some lessons from this film about respect for parents, teachers, tradition and hard work. The kids on these teams will most likely have life long fond memories of their participation in this tournament. It will instill in them a devotion to hard work and the importance of giving your best effort----regardless of the outcome. Sadly, something tells me that here in the US some of the parents of the kids on the losing teams would sue their schools for making their sons cry and causing "emotional distress". On a lighter note, it was refreshing to see so many teenagers in one place who weren't constantly texting each other.

It's no wonder the Asians teams do so well in the LLWS. Their passion for baseball starts at a very early age and continues to adulthood. Great documentary. It really shows when you watch the Little League World Series.
