United Skates

A film by Dyana Winkler & Tina Brown

The world finally seems to be catching on to what skaters have known for generations - "...“You can take the goddamn building, but you can’t take the spirit,” ...It’s a quote that still resonates.” https://t.co/1JPjOoPFsT

@abroshar We are too. It's really sad the rink is closed again.

The @latimes just called our film “a cinematic love letter to Black roller rink culture." #swoon — Now how do we translate all this interest into saving our closing rinks?

It has been heartbreaking to hear of all the rinks closing their doors due to COVID-19, but this one is the hardest of all. #worldonwheels #RIP 💔

It is an understatement to say how proud we are of the music in our film. It’s the driving force in every scene that lifts us, pumps us, and makes us cry... Today we’re excited to share that it’s now available: Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube! #unitedskatesdoc

Great piece in @TeenVogue from the lens of black female skaters. 🔥 💪🏾 And @UnitedSkatesDoc is quoted all throughout! Thank you @TianaReid for writing and bringing more visibility to our fight. #unitedskatesdoc #hbodocs #docstakeforeverrrrr

Finally giving a long hard look at our country’s police system, this article draws attention to the policing we caught on camera outside the roller rinks & the history of racism that continues today #blacklivesmatter #amplifyblackvoices
