Henry & Me

Ten-year-old Jack has a loving family, a bright future, and a passionate love for the New York Yankees baseball team in HENRY & ME. When he's unexpectedly diagnosed with a very serious illness, his entire world is turned upside down. Jack is sad, losing hope, and facing a grim present and a bleak future, and even his caring parents and upbeat medical team can't lift his spirits. Still, Jack knows that having a strong mental attitude will help him recover. Prepping for a critical surgery, he finds himself in a mystical twilit space where he meets a very wise and baseball-savvy stranger, "Henry" (voiced by a comforting, soft-spoken Richard Gere). Henry takes Jack (a compelling voice-over performance by Austin Williams) on a magical journey, during which the boy meets the legends of Yankee baseball history, both living and deceased. Jack becomes well-acquainted with the challenges these greats have endured; he becomes intimately acquainted with their courage, their optimism, and their toughness. It's a crucial journey, one in which this desperately ill child learns how to cope with adversity, rise above it, and prevail.
