Brutal Beauty: Tales of the Rose City Rollers

I'm not setting out to join a roller derby team, but I thought about it. Brutal Beauty is awesome. I found the footage engaging throughout and the music very well thought out. I was inspired and learned about how everyday women can express another side of their personality that is not typically supported. Of course, it's a girl-power film, but the men seem to love the intensity this sport brings out in the women who play.

The way the director drew out the passion in each personality on film appeared so genuine and seamless. You can see each player come alive no matter what their position on the team. The editing and directing were exceptional. The teamwork was apparent as much behind the camera as in front. We got an authentic view of the inner workings of a sport revitalized and a generation empowered.
