Jackie Robinson and His Love Affair with Montreal

In honour of legendary #42 who helped change the course of American history 75 years ago this month with the Montreal Royals, a short collage film dedicated to the beautiful love story that blossomed between Jackie Robinson and his wife Rachel and the citizens of Montreal. If this doesn't fill you with Canadian pride, you probably aren't Canadian.
