Made on a small budget, the film covers just the basics of Robinson&#8217;s earlier life, but we learn enough to understand how he arrived at his historical role. To its credit, the film &#8212; made during ongoing segregation in many U.S. states &#8212; doesn&#8217;t shy away from showing ample evidence of systemic racism: the n-word is used several times; Robinson and his wife sit at the back of the bus; a game is cancelled when it&#8217;s announced Robinson will be playing; riots are threatened. Equally distressing is the onslaught of personal prejudice Robinson faces from both his teammates (some of whom sign a petition against him) and audience members (he endures no end of taunts, boos, and jeers, including a black cat being tossed down to him and his life being threatened by the KKK). <\/p>\n<p>The following exchange early on &#8212; between Watson (as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Branch_Rickey\">Branch Rickey<\/a>) and Robinson &#8212; demonstrates his willingness to put his life and dignity on the line for a chance at an authentically remunerated career (&#8220;Negro&#8221; leagues were infamously low-paying and non-contracted): <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Branch Rickey:<\/strong> Think you&#8217;ve got guts enough to play the game no matter what happens? They&#8217;ll shout insults at you. They&#8217;ll come into you spikes first. They&#8217;ll throw at your head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jackie Robinson:<\/strong> They&#8217;ve been throwing at my head for a long time, Mr. Rickey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Branch Rickey:<\/strong> Suppose I&#8217;m a player in the heat of an important game. Suppose I collide with you at second base and when I get up I say, &#8216;You &#8211; you dirty black so-and-so!&#8217; What do you do?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jackie Robinson:<\/strong> Mr. Rickey, do you want a ballplayer who&#8217;s afraid to fight back?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Branch Rickey:<\/strong> I want a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back. You got to do this job with base hits, stolen bases, and fielding ground balls, Jackie. Nothing else! Now I&#8217;m playing against you in a World Series and I&#8217;m hot-headed. I want to win this game. So I go into you spikes first. You jab the ball in my ribs and the umpire says, &#8216;Out.&#8217; I flare. All I can see is your black face &#8211; that black face right over me. So I haul off and punch you right in the cheek.
