Black Ice 2022 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

AMC Theaters has partnered with Grindstone Entertainment and Roadside Attractions for the exclusive US release of Uninterrupted's “Black Ice” documentary. The film reveals a long history of racism in the world of hockey as told by former and black hockey players.

“Black Ice” is directed by Hubert Davis and is executive produced by LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Drake and Adel “Future” Nur. The film premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was the winner of the People's Choice Documentary. “Black Ice” will make its US debut in AMC theaters beginning July 14.

Writer: Darril Fosty
Stars: P.K. Subban, Marcel Albers

“People who love hockey will rejoice in the message of this movie, which is that everyone should play by the same rules,” said Eric d'Arbeloff, co-president of Roadside Attractions. “This extraordinary look at gaming past and present shows that there is still work to be done on this front and how exciting change can be.”

The film features Willie O'Ree, the first black player in the NHL, former professional hockey player Akim Aliu, and current hockey stars P.K. Subban and Wayne Simmonds.

According to the synopsis, “The film explores the deep BIPOC roots of the game, dating back to 1865 and the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHL), the first fully professional league, which not only introduced slapshot but shaped the game. . of the hockey we know today”.

“Davis exposes racist patterns that span generations, and even highlights stories of how players seeking change have been pressured by sports institutions to remain silent.”

"'Black Ice' is a sports documentary that, like the best examples of the genre, connects with hockey fans and the general public alike," said Barry Brooker, Chairman and CEO of Grindstone Entertainment Group. “The challenges facing BIPOC players, which are both universal and unique to the sport, are explored with sensitivity and seriousness, but the film is also wildly entertaining, with real-life characters you'll animate. We are thrilled to introduce this film to AMC theatrical audiences."

Davis is represented by Great North Artists Management and WME. The acquisition was negotiated by Roadside co-chairman Howard Cohen and Vinay Virmani of Uninterrupted Canada.

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list.
