ABOUT “HELL ON WHEELS”
In 2001, a rowdy group of Austin women were determined to resurrect an old sport, but with a new spin. This is the beginning of a revolution: “Hell On Wheels” is the ass-kicking documentary film telling the story of a group of Texas women who band together to resurrect roller derby for the 21st century. Emerging from the Austin music and arts scene, these women create a rock and roll fueled version of all-girl roller derby that has spawned the derby craze that’s sweeping the nation.
