42 - Die wahre Geschichte einer Sportlegende (2013)
Für die meisten ist es nur eine Zahl: 42. Doch für den Amerikaner Jackie Robinson bedeutet sie ein neues Leben. Denn ihm wird die historische Bedeutung zuteil, als erster schwarzer Baseballspieler im Major League Baseball aufzutreten. Zu verdanken hat er dies dem Manager der Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey, der mit seiner Tat aufgrund der immer noch vorherrschenden Rassentrennung ein großes Wagnis eingeht, aber vom Talent des jungen Jackie überzeugt ist. Doch trotz dieses Meilensteins ist es für Jackie Robinson ein mühsamer Weg. Nachdem er sich aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen hervor gearbeitet hat, sieht er sich nun massiven Anfeindungen bis hin zu Todesdrohungen ausgesetzt. Aber der einmal eingeschlagene Weg muss weiter begangen werden, und 42 zeigt uns diesen Weg.
