I'm Not One Of 'Em

About This Movie

I'm Not One Of 'Em (1974) is this curious piece that dives into the subculture of roller derby through the eyes of an interviewer. The atmosphere feels raw, almost intimate, like you're peeking behind the curtain of a world often overlooked. The pacing is a bit leisurely, which gives time to appreciate the skater's stories and the grit of the sport itself. There’s something intriguing about watching a woman in that era challenge stereotypes, and you can feel the authenticity in her performance. It's not flashy; there are no big-budget effects, just real-life grit and passion that make the documentary style stand out. You get a sense of the community, the camaraderie, and the challenges these athletes face.

This film is relatively scarce on physical media, with few releases in obscure formats that collectors appreciate. Its niche subject matter surrounding roller derby garners interest among those who enjoy offbeat documentaries. The lack of a well-known director might add to its allure for collectors who seek hidden gems in the documentary genre.
