For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story 2000

     Jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie said Arturo Sandoval was one of the greatest musicians he'd ever heard and he was a shining light in Cuba's jazz scene.  As his fame grew, so did his discomfort with Fidel Castro and the Communist leadership.  He wanted to emigrate to the United States for musical and political freedom.  He was held back in Cuba by his love for his wife and children, he could not bear to leave them behind.
     This is long and could have been edited more critically.  The story is very interesting, especially the complications for admission into the United States.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
