Throughout the 1970's, Bill Lee was the ultimate gonzo baseball player, a brilliant left-handed pitcher who flouted every manager or front office executive that tried to control him. The fans loved him and so did the sportswriters who delighted in asking the unusual baseball questions, only to get philosophical responses. Out of professional baseball since 1983, Lee was left to roam the world in search of a chance to play the game he loves. Harkening back to the days of barnstormers like the mythical Satchel Paige, who traveled the globe in search of good baseball, Lee's dventures have taken him across the United States to China, Russia, South America, and every province in Canada. The film follows Lee, at fifty-seven years young, on a weeklong journey to the impoverished baseball mecca of Cuba.

Rumor has it they still exist... the independent rock bands that don't live for the fame, the money or the entourage. And if they do exist, can they survive in an industry driven by corporate culture and greed wthout selling out? The documentary "Last Dispatch" follows the final days of just such a rock band. Brad Corrigan, Pete Francis and Chad Urmston made their college band, Dispatch, into a dream come true- three regular guys, whose music touched hundreds of thousands of fans without the help of a record label or PR machine, sold out major venues, toured non-stop and hit the Billboard charts with three different albums.
