Die Jazz Connection (2000)
Der kubanische Jazz-Trompeter Arturo Sandoval führt ein frustrierendes Leben in seiner Heimat: Zu sehr wird seine Musik von den strengen Auflagen des Castro-Regimes eingeengt. Doch die Liebe zu seiner Frau Marianela einer überzeugten Castro-Anhängerin, hält Sandoval in seiner Heimat. Als US-Jazzstar Dizzie Gillespie Kuba besucht, entdeckt er Sandoval und will ihm zur Flucht verhelfen.
Der Regisseur: Joseph Sargent
