About Bud Fowler and the Page Fence Giants
Bud Fowler was a flourishing baseball player and manager before and after baseball's color line was drawn at the end of the nineteenth century. He organized what would become the Page Fence Giants based in Adrian, Michigan in 1894. Named after the Page Woven Wire Fence Company, they would perform as one of the nation's top teams in the Negro leagues through 1898, including an 82-game winning streak in 1897 and a showdown as Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds.
Directed by Michael Neal, Bud Fowler and the Page Fence Giants leans on a strong ensemble — Mitch Lutzke, Raymond Doswell, Pete Rose — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
