In “Derby Saved My Life”, skaters from the unapologetically brutal sport of roller derby, reveal the healing powers of the game. Directed by Lucy Knox.
A passion project filmed between lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, between 2020 and 2021. All shot on 20-30 year old expired 16mm film stock, short end offcuts from 1990s Australian tv shows.
