Next is "The Dreaming Game," directed and produced by Jordan Salvatoriello. The film follows 70-year-old Raymond Gaines, a Boston native and lifelong baseball fan, as he returns to Fenway Park after spending 47 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. As he awaits a decision on his case, Gaines works to rebuild his life and pursue his long-sought freedom. The program concludes with "The Market and the Monkey’s Paw," directed and produced by "Graham New, Leo Safir, and Oliver Richards.
