CRG Doc To Air Again

An encore presentation of the award-winning Cincinnati Rollergirls documentary “The Roller Derby Queens” will air March 30 through April 2 on ThinkTV,a PBS affiliate for Dayton and Cincinnati.

The documentary was part of a class in Xavier University’s electronic media program and was produced and directed by assistant professor Blis DeVault. Filmed in the early part of the team’s 2010 season, it features in-depth interviews with then-rookie skater Bombtrack (pictured); veteran skaters Sk8 Crime, Trauma, Sista Sacralicious and Sadistic Sadie; and many other skaters and support staff as they prepared for the first home game of 2010.
Here’s the schedule:
ThinkTV 14.1

“The Roller Derby Queens” won a bronze Telly Award earlier this year. The Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, video and film productions, and web commercials, videos and films.
