A VERY pleasant surprise!
12 May 2012
I wasn't quite sure what what to expect from this movie. I learned at the last minute that two of my band's songs had been included, and I decided (again, at the last minute) to drive up to Nashville and check out the movie. I was mesmerized. My eyes were glued to the screen from beginning to end. Listening to these women talk about how much roller derby had impacted their lives was spellbinding. Then, to learn what they have gone through to keep their sport alive was just inspiring. Finally, learning that they weren't even making money and were spending much of their own taught me so much about the important things in life and how something outside of yourself can have such a lasting effect on the lives of others who are merely "on the outside looking in." Including footage from the flood and describing how that impacted the women's dreams was a great move by this very talented young producer. If you get the privilege to see this movie, don't miss it. It will teach you so much about life and what's really important. I highly recommend this movie to young women everywhere. It will empower them while it inspires. A great, great, piece of work.
