Summary
En plena Guerra FrĂa, el presidente estadounidense Jimmy Carter llama al boicot de los Juegos OlĂmpicos MoscĂş 1980 y en Puerto Rico se debate quĂ© significa eso para la participaciĂłn de los deportistas locales. Pero un joven boxeador llamado Alberto Mercado no tiene dudas: no habrá boicot ni protesta que le impida representar a Puerto Rico en el más importante escenario deportivo.
Esta es una historia sobre la visibilidad de Puerto Rico en la palestra internacional y de los triunfos y sinsabores que viven los atletas cuando la relaciĂłn entre el deporte y la polĂtica se hace evidente.
