Rise(2011)

Can the end of one dream give rise to another?

Rise is a documentary that honors the 1961 U.S. World Figure Skating Team, whose plane crashed en route to the World Championships in Prague, killing all aboard. Directed by Emmy-winning Lookalike Productions, the film traces American figure skating's evolution from that tragedy through decades of growth and achievement. It features interviews with skating luminaries and celebrates the sport's resilience and cultural impact. Released on the 50th anniversary of the crash, Rise serves as a living memorial to those lost. All proceeds support the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund, established in 1961 to honor the victims and advance the sport they loved.
