I loved Boxers & Ballerinas. This documentary succeeded on every level. It was exciting, interesting, and told a story steeped in political overtones without taking sides. I found myself watching people congregate in the streets of Cuba and wishing I was there. Then, seeing the struggle of second-generation Cuban exiles in Miami had me sitting up contemplating what I can do to help. While the subjects of this film are captivating, they are not extraordinary. As they share their dreams and fears, you will come to know them as very real and very normal people who have been born into almost surreal circumstances. This was a powerful display of the human condition.
Brilliant.
