The People Could Fly is a poetic short documentary about the history of Black gathering spaces in Louisville, KY from the 1960s to mid 2000s. Through intimate video portraits, we delve into the ritual of roller skating and how roller rinks emerged as sanctuaries for Black culture. Through a charged combination of archival footage, still photos, newly shot material and newsreel, we explore the history of a segregated Louisville and the magic that its Black community has conjured as an act of resistance. A 3-minute StoryCorps animated short Dear Mrs. Doyle will follow this film.

Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds
