Harley & Katya

I love ice skating, I love the competitions, I love the couples and the dance partners. So I have a certain prejudice in loving this brilliantly crafted documentary film.

Well researched, well investigated, delving into interviews, the life of young children who have a passion, a huge passion where their entire life is devoted to one thing.

In this case it is a sport. And the drive, the ecstasy of the accomplishments met with the difficulties of the mistakes and failures, the learning curve.

The idea that we don't take care of your children in their bountiful desire to express themselves be it in sport or art or or or - where funding is an issue and money an obstacle.

I don't want to say anything more about this. I suggest if you don't know anything about their story - then just watch the film without too much pre-research.

Bless those who helped Harley and Katya and who worked with them through the good times and difficult times.

Bring a box of tissues to your screening.
