RISING THROUGH THE FRAY - Courtney Montour and Sherry Bontkes (Sour Cherry) Interview

Christian Zyp interviews Courtney Montour (director/writer/associate producer) and Sherry Bontkes (Sour Cherry) the Captain of Team Indigenous Rising about the documentary RISING THROUGH THE FRAY. See the film 's Edmonton Premiere at Metro Cinema Friday January 30th at 7 pm.Both Courtney and Cherry will be at the screening for a Q&A following the film.

RISISNG THROUGH THE FRAY offers a poignant exploration of resiliency, healing and reconnection of a roller derby family with a bond that goes beyond sport. Uniting from across continents to bring representation to the sport they love, Indigenous Rising laces up their skates to claim their space on the roller derby track. Indigenous Rising is the first team in roller derby history to break the barriers of representing a single country at the Roller Derby World Cup – igniting a movement that pulsates throughout the sport and within each other. Rising Through the Fray follows the team as it welcomes a new generation of players set on changing the face of roller derby – a sport that champions female empowerment and inclusivity but lacks diversity.
