Havana Curveball is a heart-warming coming-of-age story about Mica, an ordinary American teenager who faces extraordinary challenges when he sets his heart on donating baseball equipment to young Cuban players. This is his act of thanks to the country that gave his grandfather refuge during the Holocaust. Viewers join Mica on a deeply felt journey that shows just how complex it can be to do a simple good deed. Best Documentary, Boston Int’l Kids Festival; Special Jury Award, Olympia Int’l Film Festival (Greece)
