LIFE IN SYNCHRO - DOCUMENTARY

If a single figure skater is a marvel, a team of figure skaters is practically a miracle. Welcome to the beautiful, cold, hard world of synchronized ice skating - the toughest sport you’ve never heard of.

Life in Synchro (2020) is a feature-length documentary directed, produced, filmed and edited by Angela Pinaglia. Journey alongside incredible women around the country as they push their teams and themselves beyond the routine and up towards greatness. The stars of today, the newcomers, the passionate amateurs and the founders of the sport all have something to prove. They’re chasing Olympic dreams not just for themselves, but for their beloved sport. Together these skaters are out to prove the staying power of synchro. Learn more about the documentary here.

The documentary was selected by the Film Festival Alliance (FFA) for their second Film Festival Day on May 23, 2020. 39 FFA member film festivals across 23 states participated in a virtual screening and Q&A. The recorded Q&A can be found here.
