“We’re hard on you… because I know that you guys can be great.” Disney+ has revealed the official trailer for a docu series streaming in February called Harlem Ice, made by doc filmmaker Samantha Knowles. An empowering, uplifting documentary to debut during wintertime – it’s produced by Imagine Entertainment. Harlem Ice is a 5-part documentary series following the girls of Figure Skating in Harlem as they prepare for competitions, performances and a life changing global experience. Through their eyes, we experience the highs and lows of the FSH Season, and the unique experiences they have as girls of color breaking the ice ceiling and gaining access to a global stage. We follow sisters Tori and Ashley, newbie Adrianna and senior Ariyana, and see how each girl makes her mark and helps to put Harlem Ice on the map. This looks exactly like the ideal Disney+ doc to feature as a way of inspiring more young people to go out and try new things.
