Every year over 2 million tourists visit Mount Rushmore National Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. They seldom take the time to travel the rural roads that connect the farms, ranches and small communities. Between the River and the Hills is a blend of fact and fiction providing an intimate view of human life in the sparsely populated area between the Missouri River and the Black Hills of South Dakota in the year 1972. Like the rest of America, the existing life styles and beliefs of the people living between the River and the Hills were challenged by new ideas coming across the airways into their radios and TV sets from 1962 to 1972. Throughout that decade, baseball provided tradition and unchanging rules in a seemingly ever-changing society. It was and is an important reoccurring summer social event that brings together the people who live between the River and the Hills. Come meet the ballplayers and their families.
