Why Go: RISE celebrates American figure skating while commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1961 tragedy in which the entire U.S. figure skating team was killed. Peggy Fleming is one of the storytellers (along with Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton, Michelle Kwan and Brian Boitano) for this inspirational movie about the power of the human spirit as it honors a group of individuals who, through their loss, inspired the hopes, dreams and success for generations of skaters to follow. For details about RISE and the accompanying live event in New York City to be hosted by Matt Lauer, go to rise1961.com.
