“Blood on the Flat Track; The Rise of the Rat City Roller Girls” premiered Thursday night to a near-capacity crowd in the Neptune Theatre. We only saw about 20 open seats. What an exciting organization the Rat City Roller Girls are, completely volunteer run, all “business” positions taken on by women, incredible characters, from the “star” of the Blue Moon Tavern sign (and still their bartender) to scientists and mathematicians and women from all walks of life, one thing was certain–they’re passionate about their sport, working 20 to 40 hours a week on their organization and training.
Northwest Junior Pipe Band did make an appearance in the film, appearing on screen for around 5 seconds, but the tune that was played leading the team onto the flat track played through the next 30 seconds or so. What an entertaining show! There is a bit of language and some “adult themes” that may be objectionable to parents, but it was a great grass-roots movie about a fun grass-roots organization!
