Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who loves an underdog and people who love a true story told well. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Liked Touching the Void? This is a good next one.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Soul On Ice: Past, Present, and Future is a film that presents and retells the unknown contributions of black athletes in ice hockey. For untold decades, hockey was seen as a homogeneous sport, exciting to watch but played by one kind of player. But people deserve to now know of the exploits of athletes who dared to stand out, and dared to make the sport their own. These Black athletes dared to give their sport soul.
