Breaking Ice (2020): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2020, Breaking Ice is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Jason Branagan, running about 70 minutes. “The incredible true story of the Irish bobsleigh team.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In 1986 a London-Irishman by the name of Larry Tracey took it upon himself to form the Irish Bobsleigh and Luge Association. He recruited a group of elite Irish rowers and set his sights on qualifying the team for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Having achieved qualification for the games, the stage was set for an historic Olympic debut. But one thing stood in their way; the Olympic Council of Ireland. Despite qualifying for the games, the OCI refused to allow them to compete at the games in Calgary, which saw the famous Jamaican bobsleigh team become Olympic heroes. Undeterred, the team evolved and set their sights on the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France.

Who’s in it. Breaking Ice stars Peter Donohue as Himself, Paul Hyland as Himself, Barry John Kinsella as Bobsleigh Driver and Nicky Lane as Bobsleigh Brakeman, among others.
