The People Could Fly is a poetic look into the history of Black gathering spaces in Louisville, KY from the 1960's to mid 2000's. Intimate video portraits reveal the ritual of roller skating and how roller rinks emerged as sanctuaries for Black culture. Weaving together archival footage, still photos, recent material and newsreel, the magic that its city’s Black community conjured shows an act of resistance in the face of segregation
