AMC Theaters has partnered with Grindstone Entertainment and Roadside Attractions for an exclusive U.S. release of Uninterrupted’s documentary “.” The film reveals a long history of racism in the hockey world as told by both past and Black hockey players. In a sport where only around 5% of professional players are Black, the documentary will give insight into the relationship between the sport and athletes of color.

“People who love hockey will rejoice in this film’s message, which is that everyone must play by the same rules,” said Eric d’Arbeloff, Roadside Attractions co-president. “This extraordinary look at the past and present of the game shows there’s still work to do on this front and how exciting change can be.”

According to the synopsis, “The film explores the deep BIPOC roots of the game, dating back to 1865 and the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes , the first all-pro league, which not only introduced the slapshot but shaped the game of hockey we know today.”
