ROLLING AT THE TOWER
"An Ode to Birmingham's Roller Skating Community"
Directed by Yontan Tiruneh
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.
