Summary:

How can individuals who are blind and visually impaired play baseball? The documentary Thunder Rolls! The World of Blind Baseball tells the story of how this is possible. It combines a thriller sports story with an educational message. When the rules of a game are changed, appropriate technologies are applied, and opportunities are opened, individuals with disabilities can play competitive sports at Olympic levels. Thunder Rolls! follows the Indy Thunder Beep Baseball team in their quest to win a World Championship. In the process, it illustrates how the team members and their coach, Darnell Booker, navigate their everyday lives and come together as a family. The documentary reveals a nuanced world that involves the full range of accomplishments and engagements of the individuals portrayed. Narrated by Jesse Eisenberg and with an original music score by Tyron Cooper, this is a spirited, humanistic, sports story operating on many levels of entertainment and social significance.
