Plan to see Peggy Fleming in RISE - the Figure Skating Film Documentary on February 17th.
RISE will be shown one night only at theaters near you on February 17th. It celebrates American figure skating while commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1961 tragedy in which the entire U.S. figure skating team was killed. Peggy is one of the storytellers (along with Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton, Michelle Kwan and Brian Boitano) for this inspirational movie about the power of the human spirit as it honors a group of individuals who, through their loss, inspired the hopes, dreams and success for generations of skaters to follow.
