What happens when a girl loves baseball, has the talent to play, but discovers that the opportunities available to boys simply aren't there for her?
In this episode of Unstoppable, host Lori Lewis welcomes Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Mark Durand, whose distinguished career includes producing and directing for ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 documentary series and SportsCentury.
Mark joins us to discuss his documentary, Her Game Is Hardball, a passion project years in the making that follows the lives of remarkable women and girls determined to pursue their dreams on the baseball diamond.
For years, Mark and his team traveled alongside talented female athletes, documenting their journeys, their struggles, and their extraordinary determination to compete in a sport they love. From international competition to the pursuit of professional opportunities, these women are challenging expectations and helping create a new future for women's baseball.
But their stories are also part of a much larger history.
Inspired by his own daughters' experiences playing Little League baseball, Mark began exploring why women, who once played an important role in baseball's early development, had been largely excluded from the game.
Through compelling personal stories, historical discoveries, and years of dedicated filmmaking, Her Game Is Hardball connects the forgotten pioneers of women's baseball with the athletes making history today.
Join us for a fascinating conversation about perseverance, opportunity, and the women who refuse to give up on the game they love.
