Chasing Moonlight

A bit on the simple side, but there's nothing wrong with that. A great little story from a fantastic film. My roommate had never seen "Field of Dreams" (shame on him) and I had to pause it and explain things a bit, so if you haven't seen the source you may not enjoy this as much.

A common concept in time travel stories is the prospect of meeting famous historical figures or personal heroes. But history often boils down the sum total of these individuals to single sentence synopses. Single achievements remembered out of entire lifetimes. Perhaps the real benefit of such interactions wouldn’t be the chance to witness what history already recorded – but the opportunity to see what was not. The real human drama, the day to day heroism that’s often lost amidst the bullet points.
