Havana Curveball
HAVANA CURVEBALL
Dir. Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider (60min, USA, 2014)

Mica is a classic thirteen year old, studying for his Bar Mitzvah. Enthusiastic. Idealistic. Dreaming baseball.

An earnest kid, he took to heart his Rabbi’s requirement to help “heal the world.” Imagining himself a savior of sorts, he launches a grand plan to send baseballs to Cuba, a country with a mysterious pull. He knows only that Cubans lack resources and love baseball — and that Cuba gave his grandpa refuge during WWII. On a hunch, his filmmaker parents pick up their camera. They know the U.S. embargo with Cuba will throw him a curveball.
