Sports are one of the most spoken about in the Indian subcontinent. But unfortunately when you say sports – it generally refers to cricket which is almost a religion in this country. While efforts have been taken to support and promote other forms of sporting event, the format generally is cricket in its various forms. The IPL, the CCI the test matches, one day internationals and the format widens. The documentary Fighting On Ice is not an ordinary feature documentary on sports. It brings forth the true fight between passion and struggle of people. It brings to the fore the rare appetite that many sportsmen both men and women possess for Ice Hockey which goes beyond money, fame and the closed doors of government and also speaks volumes about the sports people and their struggle to keep not the just the sport alive, but kindle the passion so that it may stay lit amongst the next generation as well. The documentary also features Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir and India's winter sports hero Shiva Keshavan.
