Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan's unparalleled baseball career is chronicled in a new documentary that premiered Saturday at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin.The sports documentary genre has boomed in recent years, with a big assist from ESPN’s “30 for 30” series that launched in 2009.
But “Facing Nolan,” written and directed by Houston native Bradley Jackson, is the first film that spans the 75-year-old Ryan’s life, from his modest childhood growing up in Alvin to his days playing for the Mets, Angels, Astros and Rangers.The film is a family project of sorts, with Ryan and his sons Reid, the former Astros president of business operations, and Reese among the executive producers.
“Upon meeting Nolan and his family, I soon realized this wasn't a baseball movie about a legendary Texan, but actually something far more interesting: it's a love story wrapped in baseball,” Jackson said. “Nolan Ryan might be the main character of this film, but his wife Ruth and their family are the true engine behind the Ryan Express. They helped propel his records and accomplishments into existence.
