On Thin Ice

The opening narrative delivered by the first time director was passionate and beautifully crafted and each and every one of these brave athletes deserve praise for coming forward and sharing their stories. Very important message that is even more relevant today! I suggest everyone watch On Thin Ice...

Came across this on FandangoNow. Very important message from some of the bigger names in sports. Cool film.

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 is a very important film for our time. Many would think that bigotry, prejudice and homophobia was almost non existent...watch this film. Well done!

'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.
