Roller Derby Darlings Documentary


Hell on Wheels documents the true story of the all-girl roller derby revolution in Texas back in 2001. This group of outcasts, known as Bad Girl, Good Woman (BGGW), includes 80 girls who coin fitting nicknames like “Tinkerhell,” “Sparkle Plenty” and “Betty Rage.” Although this sport claims to support the feminist movement, the women exhibit themselves unreservedly, for they dress in skimpy lingerie and submit to rink penalties like bending down to face the audience and being spanked in public. These ladies have their dignities though, for they revere this mantra that one wise member proclaimed: “there’s a fine line between sexy and slutty.”
