실수투성이 야구단 클리블랜드 인디언즈는 기적적인 승리로 아메리칸 동부 리그에서의 단 한차례 우승을 한 후, 뿔뿔이 흩어진다. 그들은 얼마 후 예전의 명성을 되찾기 위해 다시 뭉친다. 릭(Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn: 찰리 쉰 분)은 CF 등에 출연하면서 명사 행세를 하느라 예전의 강속구가 맥을 못추고, 팀의 포수였던 레이크 테일러(Jake Taylor: 톰 베린저 분)는 무릎부상이 심해서 코치로 밀려난다. 앵그리 영맨이었던 페르노(Pedro Cerrano: 데니스 헤이스버트 분)는 불교에 심취했고, 윌리(Willie Mays Hayes: 오마 에프스 분)는 오픈 시즌을 이용해 영화배우로 활약하는 바람에 주특기인 도루 실력은 형편 없어져 버린다. 새 얼굴은 잭(Jack Parkman: 데이비드 키스 분)과 다나카(Isuro Tanaka: 다카키 이시바시 분). 잭은 유일하게 제대로 된 선수였지만, 그의 자만과 이기심은 팀을 배반하기에 이르고, 다나카는 수시로 펜스를 들이받아 정신을 잃을 때가 더 많다. 여기에 신인 포수인 루브 베이커(Rube Baker: 에릭 브루스코터 분). 그 선수의 문제는 투수에게 공을 던질 수 없다는 것인데.
In 1983 the upstart United States Football League (USFL) had the audacity to challenge the almighty NFL. The new league did the unthinkable by playing in the spring and plucked three straight Heisman Trophy winners away from the NFL. The 12-team USFL played before crowds that averaged 25,000, and started off with respectable TV ratings. But with success came expansion and new owners, including a certain high profile and impatient real estate baron whose vision was at odds with the league’s founders. Soon, the USFL was reduced to waging a desperate anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL, which yielded an ironic verdict that effectively forced the league out of business. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, Academy Award-nominated and Peabody Award-winning director Mike Tollin, himself once a chronicler of the league, will showcase the remarkable influence of those three years on football history and attempt to answer the question, “Who Killed the USFL?”

In this short documentary, we take a look at the history and future of roller derby in the Netherlands, while also touching on subjects such as image and the rise of men’s teams in this traditionally female sport. We tried to capture the Roller Derby culture with grungy 16mm film overlays and an eclectic mix of colors, switching from black and white, back to color. This, combined with the use of stock footage, the Whip It trailer and choice of music really help to sell the vibe and sensibilities of roller derby.
