In 2021, Israel’s baseball team competes in the Olympics for the first time. With no media allowed in the Olympic Village in Tokyo, the players record their own experiences. Mostly newly minted Israelis, they log unexpected battles against global anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Victory comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium.

The creators of the award-winning documentary "Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel" present the next chapter in ISRAEL SWINGS FOR GOLD, directed by Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller, and Jeremy Newberger.

"Inspiring, powerful, and hits all the right notes. The sequel to "Heading Home" might be even better than the first!" - Alan Zeitlin, Jewish Journal
