1 DVD (51 min.)
Like most boys in his native city of Bombay, Talreja's childhood was filled with cricket. As an adult, however, he struggled to adapt when he moved to Toronto, wondering if he would have to erase his past in order to "belong" to his new country. One day, he discovers a thriving underground community of South Asian and Caribbean cricket players in Toronto. He meets Coach Brian Hale, who does more than teach the rules of the game -- he motivates and mentors the young cricketers as they transform from boys into men, and from immigrants to full-fledged Canadians. Hale and his team depart on a life-changing tour to Trinidad, and Talreja discovers that cricket is crucial to the identity of many new Canadians, as he regains his passion for the game in his new country
