The Movie: Rising Through the Fray
Capsule Review:
Growing up, I knew roller derby events as overly dramatic, good versus evil battles that rivaled professional wrestling and now, thanks to this documentary, I can see that it has become more of a legitimized sport with a true sense of community. Director Courtney Montour (Kanien'kehá:ka) does a great job of delving into the struggles and triumphs of the Indigenous Rising team as they fight for legitimacy and acceptance within the world of the sport they love.
