Say Hey, Willie Mays!

PëRMBLEDHJE

Director Nelson George explores the life of baseball legend Willie Mays, widely regarded as the sport’s greatest living player. Tracing his childhood in segregated Alabama and his time with the Negro League’s Birmingham Black Barons, the film charts Mays’ storied career – from his meteoric rise in Major League Baseball with the New York Giants, to his reign in San Francisco following the league’s expansion to the West Coast and his final seasons with the Mets. The film also examines Mays’ role in the social and cultural movements of the time and his close relationship with his godson Barry Bonds.
