Rolling at The Tower

An Ode to Birmingham's Roller Skating Community

0.020250
Documentary

Dating back to the 1800s, Birmingham’s roller skating scene is a flourishing, diverse community - but it lacks dedicated spaces. This community documentary explores the history of one roller venue, The Tower Ballroom, and considers what it tells us about the power of community action.

Directed by Yontan Tiruneh
