A great documentary can give you an inside glimpse into a community; reveal it’s struggles, it’s victories, and the deep meaning it gives to its members. UNITED SKATES does this for the African American roller-skating community, which in the face of racism, a volatile economy, and waning general interest in the sport,
has persevered to the present day. In addition, the documentary is an amazingly fun look at the multiple styles of roller-skating and the incredible talent involved in the sport.
