Lift (2022 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lift is a 2022 documentary film directed by David Petersen and produced by Petersen and Mary Recine. Misty Copeland served as principal advisor and as one of the executive producers.
The film follows homeless and at-risk children in New York Theatre Ballet's LIFT program, which provides them dance training and tutoring.[1] Juxtaposed with the children is the program's new director Steven Melendez, an alumnus of the program himself, who returns to the homeless shelter he lived in as a child to recruit participants as part of his new role.
