Truth Behind the Skates
A film by Molly Hibbert (student film 2020-21)
The film follows the story of a sport which has almost been distroyed in this country by the pandemic. Figure skaters have been unable to train and compete for over twelve months. This film explores how they have dealt with this and how they have found a way to keep their dreams alive.
“Figure skating is my passion and an overlooked sport which deserves more media coverage. It is important to raise awareness of the way skating has been sidelined as a sport throughout the pandemic. ”
This film was produced as part of the BA Media programme at Keele University.
