Tribeca presents Open Heart Documentary by Henrik Lundqvist
NEW YORK (June 15, 2023) — The documentary premieres on Thursday night at BMCC part of the Tribeca Film Festival, presents Open Heart is an intimate profile of New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
Director of the film Jonathan Hock has a storied career in sports documentary and was nominated for a 2019 Primetime Emmy Award for his work on ESPN’s 30 for 30 series. Fittingly, the film will debut less than a 20-minute ride away from Madison Square Garden, where Lundqvist’s no.30 hangs from the rafters.
Open Heart is an intimate profile of New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist and his struggle to return to hockey after heart surgery.
With incredible access to Henrik, his team members, and family, director Jonathan Hock offers a poignant look at the life and career of this hockey great while he confronts the biggest challenge of his life: a debilitating heart condition.
Lundqvist’s career, though tragically cut short, was nothing short of legendary. He ranks sixth in all-time wins (459)–the most for any goaltender who spent their whole career with a single team. Over 15 seasons, Lundqvist was nominated for the the Vezina Trophy five times, winning it after his 2011-12 campaign. He’ll go down in history as one of the greatest Rangers of all time and is eligible to join the Hockey Hall of Fame as soon as this fall.
