The Gold Coast International Film Festival is hoisting a screening of “A Ballerina’s Tale,” an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Soundview Cinemas, Port Washington.
Iconic ballerina Misty Copeland made history when she became the first African-American woman to be named principal dancer of the legendary American Ballet Theater.
“A Ballerina’s Tale” tells the behind-the-scenes story of how she overcame a tumultuous upbringing and near career-ending injuries to become one of the most revered dancers of her generation.
A Q&A period with Susan Fales-Hill, mentor to Copeland, philanthropist, author and former TV writer/producer, and Shiba Russell, Emmy-winning anchor for WNBC-TV.
