A human film about hockey players
When The Russian Five opens at the Traverse City Film Festival, there are sure to be loads of people in the audience familiar with the story: How a group of players from Russia helped the Detroit Red Wings win the club’s first Stanley Cup in 42 years. After all, this is Hockeytown North, where the Red Wings hold their training camp.
But for those who don’t know a blue line from a sight line, who are not into sports, or who just don’t know why they should waste an hour and a half of their time on a documentary, this movie is for you too. It’s a story of intrigue, of athletes defecting to the U.S. under cover of night, of how a group of foreigners became celebrated in the Motor City and beyond, how they transformed the game of hockey, and how a tragic accident days after they reached the pinnacle changed everything. So yes, this is a movie for hockey fans, but it’s much more than that.
