Derby

Derby is a fascinating look at the world of 1970s professional roller derby. Features lots of on-track action, as well as an off-track behind the scenes look at the lives of the roller derby pros featured in the film.

Produced by the late William Richert, this documentary follows Mike Snell, who wants to run away from his dreary day job in a factory to become a roller derby star.

Rarely screened, it was praised as being one of the top ten films of the year by the NY Times in 1971.
