Mathematically Alive - A Story of Fandom
Joseph Coburn & Katherine Foronjy

This engaging documentary is for all New York Mets fans
and for anyone who is a devoted fan of a sports team.
Directors Coburn and Foronjy reveal the stories of
a spectrum of Mets devotees and take us on their
roller coaster ride of emotion through the 2006 playoffs. 
 
Mathematically Alive explores why Sports are such an
integral part of American culture. What the affects are
of following a team and, more importantly, why fans
continue to invest so much emotion, time, and money into
their team. They are the stories of any fan in America.
For some it's an escape from reality, for others it forms
their identity. Their fanaticism, not too far off from
your own or someone you know, makes for a
fascinating window into an often unexamined part of
everyday life - Sport fandom.
