Los Angeles, CA BWP Press -- ROLLER GURLS an insightful multi-dimensional look at this re-emerging complex Sport that has already swept across every state in the USA and found around the world . Set inside the secular underground world of today s Women s Roller Derby filmmaker Bob Bryan probes the serious gritty reality behind over three (3) dozen Derby women of varying ages and sizes, who have chosen to adopt super-hero and in some cases anti-hero personas and attitudes to play this exciting, hardhitting and incredibly difficult and fast-paced action sport. GV13 is very well done, good pacing, and an accurate depiction of one of the lesser known sports. Filmmaker Bob Bryan did an excellent job using natural sound and numerous sources to tell the story. Obviously a lot of work put in to this documentary that s a must-see for anyone involved in Roller Derby, but would also be entertaining to the non-sports fan. ---Mike Scott, KSPR Sports Director What surprised me as a new player was that Roller Derby is played very professionally and that the skill level is very high.
