WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Amazing dancing by Mikhail Baryshnikov as a Soviet defector! Amazing dancing by Gregory Hines as a black man who left America because of its racism and his opposition to the Vietnam War! Initial hostility that turns into a strong bond between them. Rather nuanced discussion of the choices involved in defection. And a daring escape. More discussion here
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: On Amazon Prime or inexpensive as a DVD.
