Love roller derby? Find out how the current roller derby revival began! The Cincinnati Rollergirls host an exclusive, one-night-only screening of roller derby documentary Hell on Wheels. The documentary "takes a from-the-trenches look at the dizzying clash of athleticism, exhibitionism, egos, politics and business that is modern-era roller derby. A group of hard-hitting Texas women overcome myriad obstacles in resurrecting and revamping the sport, only to find internal strife ripping the fledgling organization apart. Two leagues emerge from the clash, and what follows ignites an international roller derby revival. Shot over a five-year period by Bob Ray (Rock Opera) and Werner Campbell, Hell on Wheels was edited by award winning editor Conor O'Neill (Murderball, Word Wars) and features original music by …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead."
