La partita perfetta (2009)
Il film è basato sulla storia vera della squadra Monterrey Industrial Little League. Nel 1957 un eterogeneo gruppo di bambini poveri di Monterrey, Messico, sciocca il mondo del baseball partecipando al campionato Little League World Series. I bambini - guidati dal loro parroco e da un ex giocatore in bassa fortuna affrontano un lungo viaggio ttraversando il Sud degli Stati Uniti fino a Williamsport, Pennsylvania, per giocare una importante partita. Il loro tragitto sarà contrassegnato da mille difficoltà: ad un certo punto rischiano di essere deportati e, soprattutto, devono affrontare i pregiudizi razziali che non consentono loro di mangiare in molti ristoranti, né di usare qualunque autobus. I ragazzi non perdono mai la loro fede, conquistando così sia il cuore dei tifosi messicani che quello del pubblico americano.
