Mar 21, 2019

Writer Ernest Hardy moderates a Q&A with director Dyana Winkler and Los Angeles skater Phelicia Wright following a screening of the film United Skates (2018). The country's last standing roller rinks are threatened with closure, United Skates spotlights a community of thousands who fight in a racially charged environment to save the underground African American subculture of roller skating. This “kaleidoscopically vibrant” (Variety) documentary examines an underappreciated world that has been formative to black music and culture.
