**Screenwriter**: John Sayles **Producer**: Sarah Pillsbury, Midge Sanford Vidiots salutes the end of baseball season with John Sayles’ home-run of a sports film *Eight Men Out* on glorious 35mm! Buck Weaver and Hap Felsch are young idealistic players on the Chicago White Sox, a pennant-winning team owned by Charles Comiskey – a penny-pinching, hands-on manager who underpays his players and treats them with disdain. And when gamblers and hustlers discover that Comiskey’s demoralized players are ripe for a money-making scheme, one by one the team members agree to throw the World Series. But when the White Sox are defeated, a couple of sports writers smell a fix and a national scandal explodes, ripping the cover off America’s favorite pastime. **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
