Movie Haiku:Fascinating new doc set in Manipur, India, on the other end of the world from the USA, but with a surprisingly intimate connection. During WWII when the Japanese controlled much of Southeast Asia, the Allies built an air base there. In their free time the GIs played baseball, thereby creating a local population of passionate fans. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
