Hell on Wheels takes a from-the-trenches look at the dizzying clash of athleticism, exhibitionism, egos, politics and business that is modern-era roller derby. A group of hard-hitting Texas women overcome myriad obstacles in resurrecting and revamping the sport, only to find internal strife ripping the fledgling organization apart. Two leagues emerge from the clash, and what follows ignites an international roller derby revival. Shot over a five-year period by Bob Ray (Rock Opera) and Werner Campbell, Hell on Wheels was edited by award winning editor Conor ONeill (and features original music by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.
"Hell on Wheels is a fascinating story and a fun movie."- Cinematical
"Part rock 'em, sock 'em sports doc (cue Trail of Dead) and part behind-the-scenes exposé the film is blessedly free of A&E-style jiggle and melodramatic pandering, and it makes clear the value of Derby for misfit girls who like to clothesline people. Best of all is the film's coda, which tracks the subsequent formation of Roller Derby leagues across the U.S. and the globe."-The Austin Chronicle
Hell On Wheels will be showing at England's oldest independent cinema, The Electric, in Birmingham. This beautifully restored cinema features a rich sound system, period detailing, and a full bar with absinthe fountain.
