Relive the exploits of memorable, if not exemplary Phillies teams and players through the eyes of a young fan and his father. The journey for Dad and I begins with our first Phillies game together at Veterans Stadium in 1990 when I was just seven years old. Through the coming years and decades, my dad got me to fall in love with this team while also appreciating an American League team just an hour to the south. Our family and father-son relationship experienced their fair share of ups and downs, but when all was said and done, the Phillies and baseball in general, always brought us back together.

Reflecting upon his experience making his 2010 feature film Mothers, a cinematic triptych interweaving three narratives that are each, in their own way, about the often tenuous lines between truth and fiction, and one of which actually morphs into a documentary about the aftermath in a small Macedonian town where three retired cleaning women were found raped and killed in 2008 and the murderer turned out to be the journalist covering the story for a major Macedonian newspaper, the Oscar-nominated Macedonian-born and New York-based writer-director Milcho Manchevski writes that, "Most of us look at films differently or accept stories in a different way if we believe that they are true. We watch a documentary film in a different way from the way we watch a drama. We read a magazine article in a different way from the way in which we read a short story. Sometimes, we even treat a film that employs actors differently than a regular drama because we were told that it is based on something that really happened. We treat these works based on truth or reporting on the truth in different ways. Why? What is it in our relation to reality or in our relation to what we perceive to be reality that makes us value a work of artifice (an art piece) differently depending on our knowledge or conviction of whether that work of artifice is based on events that really took place?"In this extended essay, or letter, Manchevski ruminates the different ways in which both filmmakers and audiences create, experience, and absorb the cinematic narrative with a certain trust and faith in the artwork to render, not the factual truth, per se, but the importantly shared experience of trusting "the plane of reality created by the work itself," such that "we trust its inner logic and integrity, we have faith in what happens while we give ourselves to this work of art." Truth becomes a question of what artist and audience can see and feel together: what feels real becomes the world we inhabit.The book also includes an Afterword, "Truth Approaches, Reality Affects," by internationally renowned film scholar Adrian Martin.
