Tell me your derby name

- «Tutus and complicated makeup like in roller derby movies aren’t so popular these days. Although you still see bright makeup and fishnets. For me, that performative aspect of roller derby is what made me want to join the team. And I waited a whole year for the next Fresh Meat Day.
- You joined for the fishnets!
- No! Not for the fishnets! I saw it wasn’t a boring sport ruled by committee. It’s a special space which can be… And, of course, doesn’t have to be, but which can be different, which can turn out to be better».

This film is the story about the first Russian roller derby team - White Night Furies from St. Petersburg.
Roller derby was born from dance marathons a hundred years ago. In the beginning it was female fights show and tracks with alligators. Now it is a space created by the skaters for the skaters. Where is your derby name - the password that opens the doors wherever there is a roller derby: all over the world you will find like-minded people, you will be sheltered, fed and hugged.
