In 2021, Israel’s baseball team competed in the Olympics for the first time. This film follows the players’ experiences on and off the field. They encounter unexpected battles including anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Victory for Israel comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium. Israel Swings for Gold follows the 2018 hit Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, about Israel’s Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.
