skating on natural ice is a primal port in the Netherlands. Many skaters come from the Christian country. Although the Bible Belt (Orthodox Christian Netherlands) against sport is skating for an exception. As long but not on Sunday, the day of the Lord, to be skated.
Today the traditional skate culture threatened by commercialism and professionalism. Also the holy house of Sunday rest is no longer respected.
It puts the protagonists dilemmas: Geert-Jan van der Wal from Urk, the favorite for the next Elfstedentocht. Rene Ruitenberg, multiple Dutch champion. And the skate family Klompmaker, also of the Veluwe.
in February 2012 the coveted Elfstedentocht very close, and Sunday seems to be the only option, are the protagonists of choice.
Black Ice is a documentary by Geertjan Lassche and has been produced by IDTV Docs and EO, and was realized with the support of the Media Fund.
