Minulú sezónu Cleveland Indians vyhrali titul v divíznej súťaži, ale v americkej majstrovskej lige ich porazilo mužstvo Chicago White Sox. Úspech sezóny zmenil postoje všetkých hráčov, úspech im stúpol do hlavy. Ricky Vaughn má pocit, že sa kamsi vytratilo jeho umenie superrýchlych odpalov, Pedro Cerrano zase podstúpi duchovnú konverziu, prejde od agresívneho voodoo k zmierujúcemu budhizmu, čo sa odrazí na strate jeho útočnej sily. Roger Dorn odišiel do výslužby a od Rachel Phelpsovej odkúpil tím. Jake Taylor sa tiež vzdal športovej kariéry a pracuje pre trénera Lou Browna. Willie Mays Hayes je síce rovnako rýchly ako predtým, ale jeho úderom chýba sila. Štart do novej sezóny je maximálne nevydarený.
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.
