Holy Land Hardball, follows a diverse group of players and executives as they attempt to create the first-ever professional baseball league in the Middle East, is streaming on SnagFilms this week as the concluding installment of the online venture's SummerFest series that has been running since July. Holy Land Hardball is also available on Hulu.com, AOL.com and Fancast.com.
For SummerFest,, SnagFilms has been hosting one-week screenings of previously unreleased documentaries before they head for theatrical or television release. "Just as the Major League Baseball pennant races heat up, we're celebrating the end of our SummerFest homestand with Holy Land Hardball," said CEO Rick Allen, in a statement. "It's not just baseball fans who will warm to an unlikely cross-cultural attempt to bring America's game to a part of the world where 5,000 years of recorded history had yet to include a scorecard."
"Holy Land Hardball has been a labor of love that we are extremely proud of, said producer/directors Erik Kesten and Brett Rapkin, in the statement. "We're thrilled it was selected to be part of SnagFilms' inaugural SummerFest. This is a remarkable opportunity to bring our film to a limitless audience."
