Rising Through the Fray

Rising Through the Fray

 

Uniting from across continents to bring representation to the sport they love, Indigenous Rising laces up their skates to claim their space on the roller derby track. With a compassionate and candid lens, filmmaker Courtney Montour weaves energetic on-track game play with tender moments in teammates’ daily lives as skaters from over 30 Indigenous Nations navigate and learn each other’s play styles at tournaments and find strength within each other to compete and skate onto the track with pride.

Featuring a post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Courtney Montour.

Film will be presented in original English language with French subtitles.
