Watch: A short documentary about Mo’ne Davis

Spike Lee directed this short documentary about 13-year-old pitcher/point guard Mo’ne Davis. As much as I hate being moved by a video that is ultimately a Chevrolet ad, they totally got me with the anecdote about two little boys pitching to each other arguing about who gets to be Mo’ne. Also: the time when Mo’ne bumped Kobe Bryant from the cover of Sports Illustrated. Badass.
