If you’ve been round these here parts, you know my obsession with the miracle on ice. Many thanks to the editors at Film Comment, for taking my pitch to write a piece on the 1980 Winter Olympics, as seen through the HBO doc Do You Believe in Miracles?, Gabe Polsky’s recent doc about the Russian team, and the 2004 film Miracle, starring Kurt Russell.
MN paper is doing a look-back at the Miracle, and I thought of you IMMEDIATELY when I saw it. (https://www.twincities.com/2020/02/19/miracle-on-ice-40th-anniversary-team-usa-olympics/)
