INDEPENDENT LENS presents a Documentary Film by Filmmaker NELSON GEORGE which tells the story of MISTY COPELAND from her hometown of KANSAS CITY, MO, to growing up in SAN PEDRO, CA, joining the ABT organization, and her meteoric rise in the world of dance.
A BALLERINA'S TALE: THE INCREDIBLE RISE Of MISTY CROPLAND also sheds light on the extreme dearth of BLACK WOMEN in MAJOR DANCE COMPANIES, how the historic emphasis on young women having waifish bodies can often lead to severe health issues, and how Misty speaks to these issues.
