Sugar
“For Miguel "Sugar" Santos, his curveball was his ticket out.”
Drama
Like many young men in the Dominican Republic, 19-year-old Miguel "Sugar" Santos dreams of winning a slot on an American baseball team. Indeed, his talents as a pitcher eventually land him a slot on a single-A team in Iowa, but culture shock, racism and other curveballs threaten to turn Sugar's dream sour.
VIBE
A quiet, character-focused drama about the immense pressure and isolation of chasing a dream far from home. It captures the subtle ache of homesickness and the quiet dignity of perseverance against overwhelming odds.
