Editorial Reviews

Review

Hell on Wheels is an epic doc. It's fast, fun, and inspiring. --Chris Gore (founder, Film Threat Magazine)


Product Description

Fast, fun and inspiring, HELL ON WHEELS is the true tale of a group of hard-hitting Austin, Texas women who resurrect the sport or roller derby, only to find internal strife ripping the fledgling organization apart. Two leagues emerge from the clash and, in four short years, the two Texas leagues overcame all obstacles to revel in undreamed of success. Riding a wave of international acclaim, the Lonestar Rollergirls and the Texas Rollergirls launch a roller derby revival, inspiring hundreds of other leagues to start up across the globe. Shot over a five-year period by filmmakers Bob Ray and Werner Campbell, HELL ON WHEELS is a dizzying clash of athleticism, exhibitionism, egos, politics, and business that is moder-era rollery derby.

5.0 out of 5 stars History caught on film, and it isn't pretty, October 26, 2009
By MCH (Tallahassee, FL) - See all my reviews
In 2001 a performance artist decides to bring back roller derby. He flakes but the women involved decide to bring back the sport as an all girl contact sport on skates. The women work hard and end up having a few bouts, but things start going wrong.

If you have even been part of a club or other recreational group you will probably recognize a lot of what goes on- the old people vs the new people, the pretty, pretty princess problem, the problem that they did not anticipate, the power grab. Even if you don't care about Derby there is a lot you can learn about how groups work (and fail) from this movie.

It is a exhausting ride, even as a viewer. But this is the drama that you don't see on reality television. And the editing is done with a light hand, this is a movie with a story to tell and to much fancy stuff would distract.

This is a honest film. Sometimes it is ugly like rink rash. But in the end you feel like almost everyone involved became something a little.. MORE because of derby. What came out might be MORE awesome or MORE evil but there is, even on film a sense of heightened reality that comes with passion.

And so here it is birth of a sport. The first by women for women sport of my lifetime. And the story is told with full contact.
