The boo and I won tickets (God bless WNYC) to see a screening of the new film, Sugar hitting theaters in NYC and LA on April 3rd. Directed by Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (the duo behind Half Nelson) this is not your typical baseball epic. Following the life of Miguel “Sugar” Santos as he makes his way from the Dominican Republic to America via a Kansas City minor league team, the film is a story as much about baseball as it is about cultural assimilation, and finding yourself in a most surprising way. Great music, beautiful shots, and breakthrough introductions to some really amazing talent. Highly recommended. (Great site too, but don’t read the synopsis provided if you want the surprise ruined…)
