Soul On Ice: Past, Present, and Future is a film that presents and retells the unknown contributions of black athletes in ice hockey. For untold decades, hockey was seen as a homogeneous sport, exciting to watch but played by one kind of player. But people deserve to now know of the exploits of athletes who dared to stand out, and dared to make the sport their own. These Black athletes dared to give their sport soul.
Authorities, journalists, and the cast & crew from "The Departed" (2006) talk about the film's influences. Among them is a real-life Boston gangster named Whitey Bulger, who is the mold for Jack Nicholson's character.
