Parents who follow their pushy kid around with a camcorder his entire life, hoping to find the right stunt that will thrust their baby into the spotlight, form the basis of this insignificant documentary. The Cuban government gave Mica’s zayde refuge from the Nazis, and decades later the 17-year-old decides to show his gratitude by sending sporting equipment their way. This is what they’re making movies about nowadays?! If directors Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider (Speaking in Tongues, Born in the U.S.A.) want to trivialize America’s relationship with Cuba, go right ahead, just don’t drag the Holocaust into your vanity production. If ever a film should have bypassed theaters and public television and gone straight to YouTube, it’s this. (2014) — Scott Marks
