Roller Derby Dolls excerpt
Year
2008
Evil Doll. Dead Meat. Mimsey Mayhem. Phoebe Hart's 2008 film Roller Derby Dolls, available to watch in full on NFSA Player, features these stars of the Brisbane roller derby scene, a mid-2000s revival of a female-dominated sport popular in the 1960s and '70s. For the women playing, it was an opportunity to leave their workaday selves at the door and explore liberating alter-egos.
This excerpt captures the speed, the violence, the tattoos, the fishnets, and the camaraderie of this 'hell on wheels’ community.
