The U.S. Embassy is about to play host to a defector and the defector is about to play for his life.

Frustrated by the Cuban government's response to his music, and after meeting American jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval secretly plans to escape to the U.S. Tied to Cuba by a love for his wife, family, and home, he cooperates with the government, going so far as to join the party in order to travel internationally. One night, on a European tour, he leaves a smoke-filled night club for a secret meeting at the U.S. Embassy. Fearful of being sent home, Sandoval's heart beats like never before. At risk is everything he loves. The prize is everything he dreams. PG-13 Released (Streaming): Dec 20, 2024 See Movie Details
