On Thin Ice (2021)
Athletes who have struggled for acceptance due to race, religion, sexual orientation, and other prejudices, endure conflict in their quest to level the playing field.

Jack Brooks escaped the pogroms in 1923 and went on to become one of the premier speedskaters of interwar America. He skated with the U.S. Olympic team, and traveled to Lake Placid in 1932 for the III Olympic Winter Games. But his dream was cut short. Singled out because of the religion he practiced and the place he called home, the 'speedster from Poland' became a spectator on the sidelines. This is the story of his life, and the lives of the men and women who came after him. This is a testament to their collective fight for fairness, and to the abiding spirit that sport can and should advance greater understanding of ourselves and each other.

We're all human and we all struggle for relevance and acceptance. This film peals-back the layers of discrimination that often dictate our fate in sport and in life. It's a thought-provoking and moving tribute to the outcast or marginalized trail-blazers who often pave the way for others at their own expense, not because they're less gifted, but because they're somehow different. As frustrating and invasive as it is to be confronted with the reality of discrimination head-on, this film gives us hope that things can and will change.
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!
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...
