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.
