Thank you so much for accurately capturing the essence of Cuban sports in general but more specifically,I feel you did the Cubans who may never see this film great justice by telling their story to those in the much more cushioned life of the first world. Boxing is the toughest sport to make it in….and for you guys to show what kind of sacrifice an athlete and their family must make in order to hope for a better life in Cuba is priceless. No one else would care enough or know enough to ever gain this perspective if not for filmmakers such as yourselves…Thank You!
