A Ballerina's Tale // Game Changers

In 2013, Misty Copeland was given the lead role in the American Ballet Theatre’s production of Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird, becoming the company's first African American female soloist since the 1980s. She danced beautifully the night of the performance, but offstage she discovered that she had six fractures in her left shin, leading many to doubt she would dance again. Journalist and director Nelson George follows Misty during a crucial period in her life, from the triumph of Firebird to her return to ballet and emergence as a pop sensation. A Ballerina’s Tale is a remarkable story of how great talent and willpower can open doors in a very exclusive world.
