Off the rink, all skaters are equal, but when the game of Roller Derby begins for Australasia’s first all-girl league, they discover some are more equal than others. A bittersweet and intimate story about identity, obsession, and trying to connect, Pretty Brutal follows self-titled sportswomen Pieces of Hate, Kid Vile, and Naki Kronik into their debut competitive season. Their challenge: train together as sisters then savage each other come game day. Tensions mount between slams to the concrete, the fate of their newfound community hinges on egos and unspoken trust.
