4.0 out of 5 stars Evocative,fun and bittersweet, October 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Greener Grass: Cuba, Baseball and the United States [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This documentary,which originally aired on PBS in the spring, chronichals the baltimore orioles trip to Cuba a couple of seasons ago, and the subsequent effect on the cuban population, both in Cuba and in the States.The tone of the documentary is friendly, too friendly actually to accomplish it's task. One CANNOT avoid the political implications of a major league baseball team playing the cuban natl. team.That is where the documentary lags. Where it really takes off is the interview with the fan in the street and barber shop[what extraordinary fans],on the origins of Cuban Baseball[native or imported],on the great, great cuban players gone past, on the ice of the embargo. When it comes back to the states, it bogs down. The peripatetic protesters,the agent waiting for defections, the ... defenses of Fidel,the white hot hatred from the exile community sort of spoil this brew.Still, informative heartrending, and to be continued...
