The Irish roller-derby documentary hits Irish cinemas from Friday, June 30th, and follows Irish women over four years as they commit to the gruelling sport.
Two special screenings will take place in Dublin and Cork over the opening weekend with the Irish Film Institute hosting a screening and Q&A on Friday 30th June at 18.15, while the Triskel Christchurch in Cork will kick off their release of the film with a special screening AND Q&A on Sunday July 2nd.
‘Revolutions’ is filmed and directed by McGann, with Ross Whitaker producing for True Films.
Synopsis
The sport becomes a haven for these women and a means for self-expression, a fight to be fought, and, above all, a team that needs them.
Firm friendships are struck, clubs are formed, national teams meet and vie for supremacy, and the first-ever Irish national team travels to compete at the Roller Derby World Cup. But rivalries emerge within the team, the coach’s rule is subverted and off-rink demands of work and family increasingly challenge the women’s commitment.
