In this thoroughly charming and blessedly queer ensemble comedy series from Amazon Studios (airs on Amazon Prime on August 12) which was inspired by Penny Marshall’s iconic 1992 film, Carson’s journey introduces us to dozens of women primed to be the next big thing in baseball — never mind the waning crowds and sexist owners with zero confidence in their talent.
Upon receiving a letter from her husband that he’s returning home from the war, Carson Shaw (Abbi Jacobson) does the only sensible thing a woman can do — she immediately runs off to Chicago to try out for the All-American Girls Baseball League. Along the way, potential romance brews among the players (with The Good Place’s D’Arcy Carden more than obliging as several girls’ object of affection!), and gifted athlete Max Chapman (Chanté Adams) vows to break through barriers and become the league’s first Black player.
Docfilm “THE GRAB” is a powerful thriller about a nearly invisible conspiracy to control the world’s food and water, uncovering the money, and alarming rationale behind covert efforts to control the most vital resource on the earth, exposed and discovered by investigative journalist Nate Halverson.
