    • Synopsis
    • In Roller Derby, armored women* on roller skates fight for a victory in intense 2-minute rounds - fireworks that erupt anew after every starting whistle. Catzilla has just moved up to the A-Team and has to beat the strongest opponents with full body commitment. She recounts how the colorful community helped her overcome private blockades and break with stereotypes on femininity that were forced upon her.
