Movie Haiku:Miguel ''''Sugar'''' Santos (Soto) is a Dominican teenager with a great arm. Nurtured in local baseball camps, he’s brought north to play on a Minor League team in Iowa. Everyone’s got great intentions, but the pressure weighs heavy on Sugar’s young shoulders. Well-told, intimate story contrasting first world/third world expectations & lifestyles.
