GLove Trailer - The First Deaf Baseball Team

VIDEO [CC] - GLove Trailer - The first hearing impaired baseball team in english subtitles.



South Korea - 'GLove' (Korean Movie - 2011) - A cocky ex-baseball player goes to the countryside to coach a team of Hearing-Impaired Boys. The school's baseball team consisted of 25 players who were Deaf.



What started out as a PR stunt to salvage his reputation turns into a serious bid for the National Championships. Acclaimed Korean director Kang Woo-seok’s first film based on a true story, 'GLove,' tells the story of a baseball team whose members are all hearing-impaired.



Kim Sang-nam (Jeong Jae-yeong), a hot-tempered former professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of hearing-impaired players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case.







At first, Kim has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who can’t hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game.



Motivated, Kim decides to help them prepare for the nationals. But things don’t go the way Kim plans and their difficulties communicating with one another exacerbates the situation.
