FOR LOVE OR COUNTRY (2000)

JOSEPH SARGENT

Plot

Based on the true story of Cuban jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, we follow the man's increasing frustration with his home nation, as the restrictions on his life and work reach a level which he finds unbearable, finally precipitating Arturo's dangerous and desperate decision to escape Cuba. For Love or Country is a lushly atmospheric romantic drama with some fine performances and a cracking soundtrack by the man himself.
