Favorite documentary this year

This was very well done. It included authentic and informative interviews. Ella comes off as a very grounded person and artist. She is extremely unique, not due to her Aboriginal background, but due to her ability to add so many colors to her dance language. It is obvious that she is able to master a variety of dance languages while making them her own.

Ella also has a very strong presence when she dances, which adds to her special quality as an artist. Some of the most technically savy dancers never get that and it is something that can not be taught.

She is someone I look forward to watching through her career. In the middle of the documentary is an extremely powerful duet that we will remember and enjoy for years to come. I am currently watching this documentary a second time. The powerful duet I mentioned I have probably watched at least 10 times. Excellent documentary. Bravo.
