Baseball & Exile in “The Last Out” (feat. Sami Khan & Michael Gassert)

Alex and Bobby talk with Sami Khan and Michael Gassert, co-directors of “The Last Out,” a new documentary that follows three Cuban players in their journey to the major leagues, about how they went about making this film, how the focus of the project evolved as the filmmaking process went on, balancing the callousness of the international signing system with the humans at the center of the story, documenting the harrowing journey the players took, situating their stories in the broader political climate, and more.
