This film gives the term 鈥榖lood, sweat, and tears鈥� a whole new meaning as it charts the lives and loves of Wales鈥� first and best roller derby team, the Tiger Bay Brawlers. This observational documentary follows them through the biggest moment of their sporting lives: the European Continental Championships 2018. Roller derby is one of the fastest growing sports in Europe. To the uninitiated, it looks like hell on wheels - a violent spinning vortex of tattooed women on roller skates, crashing into each other at high speed. But, to its devotees, roller derby is not just a sport. It quickly becomes life. For some, it鈥檚 also a brutal escape from everyday struggles, for others it鈥檚 been a salvation. Along the way, the film explores what has made roller derby a cultural phenomenon and a safe place for women of all shapes, sizes and gender orientations to express themselves physically 鈥� and sometimes violently 鈥� while creating a strong community spirit like they鈥檝e never encountered elsewhere in their lives.
