Sugar

Sugar (2008) is a quietly observed drama from directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck that you can watch online on iFILM. Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a nineteen-year-old pitcher from the Dominican Republic, earns a spot on a Single-A baseball team in rural Iowa — his curveball the one thing anyone cares about.

Away from family, unable to order food or buy a bus ticket without stumbling, Sugar discovers that the American dream comes with a language barrier and a very short shelf life. Boden and Fleck keep the film close and unhurried, showing a young man figuring out who he is when the game stops covering for him. Watch Sugar (2008) online on iFILM.
