Sugar surrounds Dominican baseball player, Miguel Santos and his journey to break into the American big leagues. Synopsis: Miguel Santos is a talented pitcher who might just have what it takes to earn a prized spot on a Major League Baseball team, but before that happens he’ll have to prove his worth in the minor leagues. Advancing into the United States’ minor league system at the tender age of 19, Miguel is warmly welcomed into the small-town Iowa home of his host family, but can’t help but struggle with language and cultural barriers despite the kindness of strangers. Directed by Filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson). Watch the trailer after the jump.
