| Opplysninger | Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez is the greatest pitcher in all of Cuba, and when he is banned from baseball for life for allegedly plotting to defect to the U.S., he risks his life to defect and chase major-league dreams. Fainaru and Sanchez expose the larger-than-life characters who contrast the worlds of Cuba and America, and study players who give up their lives as tools of socialism to test the capitalist free market.
