In 2009, U.S. Figure Skating commissioned the production of a full-length feature documentary film called "RISE", to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the loss of the 1961 figure skating team. The film was produced and directed by the Emmy Award winning company Lookalike Productions, of Englewood, New Jersey. "RISE" was shown in theaters across the U.S. for one night only, on February 17, 2011, with one encore presentation on March 7, 2011. Proceeds from the movie were donated to the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund. The film was shown on the Versus network on October 22, 2011.
