The Cuban Swimmer

I can't really say that I liked The Cuban Swimmer. It seemed to much like a fairy tale story with no real explanation for the outcome aside from magical intervention of some kind. For some reason it felt very predictable and I pretty much knew what the outcome was going to be before the drama ended.
The drama did provide an interesting perspective on family ties and support in hispanic families.
It also touches on the prejudice that Americans have toward Hispanics as the reporter Mel Munson insults the family by classifying the family as "simple people" on the "ragtag La Havana, taking their long-shot chance to victory."
It also seems to shed light on the resentment that Hispanic nationalities have toward other Hispanic nationalities as the mother explains her resentment of her son who has gone to live with a Puerto Rican in New York City.
