On Thin Ice

Found this streaming on Prime. Cool picture with a number of interviews with inspiring athletes. Could have been longer, but it's a good survey of the athletes and their sports and features some interesting history on speed skating from the early 1900s. Had never heard of Irving Jaffe or Charles Jewtraw or the antisemitism of the Lake Placid Club. Crazy that Jewish Olympic athletes couldn't even get a good night's sleep the night before a race in 1932 because they were Jewish.

If you need a reminder that past is prologue, history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes, give this a watch-especially the segment titled "history." More relevant now than ever.

This movie transcends Sports and is a must watch! Had me in the feels the whole time!! Definitely a great movie to watch with friends and family!

'On Thin ice' is my favorite documentary of 2019. I came across it on Amazon and I'm glad I did. This is the kind of movie that everyone should see. The director crafts an incredible story about facing your fears and using past hardships to better yourself and society. These athletes in the film are exceptional and their bravery is aspirational to say the least.

This is a must see! This film highlights the struggles we face as a society to look past certain stigmas and give every person, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or country of origin, the opportunity to compete and acheieve success at the highest levels of their craft.

This movie is universal. Whether you're a fan of sports or not, everyone can relate to this film. It shows first hand that "sport has the unique power to advance greater understanding and respect."
