DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE IS ON POINT WITH GETTING TO THE NUTCRACKER
Scientology Network’s DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the award-winning documentary Getting to The Nutcracker on November 29, 2019.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
First-time director Serene Meshel-Dillman’s Getting to The Nutcracker follows young dancers through grueling routines as they prepare to perform the Christmas classic. But behind this production of the world’s most beloved ballet is a gritty reality of hope and heartache as talented and highly disciplined dancers follow their dreams in a prestigious ballet school in Los Angeles.
Marat Daukayev, acclaimed former Kirov Ballet dancer, operates one of the most competitive ballet schools in the world. Passionate, young dancers come here with dreams of landing their favorite roles. Despite endless hours of rehearsal, there are no guarantees that any of these hopefuls will land a principal role. But all their work and sacrifice pays off when the first few strains of the orchestra plays and the magic of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece comes to life on stage.
