A documentary about the growing craze of queer roller derby is seeking crowd-funding.

The Vagine Regime, made by LA-based filmmaker Erica Tremblay, reports on a subculture of roller derby  in the US of the same name.

Since the early 2000s, a punk, tongue-in-cheek, DIY culture has emerged in all-female roller derby, a sport that may join the Olympics in 2020.
