    • Synopsis
    • This compelling documentary narrated by John Leguizamo is a gritty and never before seen look inside the world of MLB training camps in the Dominican Republic. Miguel Angel and Jean Carlos are two of the top prospects at an MLB training camp, and they are both about to turn 16, which means they can be signed to an MLB farm team and ultimately move up to the majors. Filmmakers Ross Finkel, Trevor Martin, and Jonathan Paley take you inside this never before seen world for an up close and personal look at the cost of the American dream.
