Premise

Through original documentary filming, interviews, online vlog footage, news footage, and archival audio, In the Turn documents the story of Crystal, a transgender girl living in Timmins, Ontario.^[4] After discovering with her mother about Vagine Regime, a roller derby association, she expressed interest in the sport. Her mother wrote a message to the organization which raised money to sponsor Crystal as she traveled to the United States to enroll in short roller derby camp. The documentary also recounts the stories of several members of Vagine Regime and the general roller derby community. The film features interviews with several transgender members of roller derby teams, fans and a referee, who describe how the community has helped them cope with their transitions.

Reception

According to Regan Reid from Vice, the film focuses on the positive effects of the roller derby community rather than the "devastating aspects" of Crystal's life. Instead of concentrating on the struggles faced by members the LBGT community, it instead focuses on their day to day lives.^[5] The film has received generally positive reviews.^[6]^[7] According to The Roaming Life, "The film clearly demonstrates the importance of finding a community full of people you can look up to when you’re young and transgender." It describes the film as an example of "the power that cinema can have"^[4] Pat Mullen, a member of the Online Film Critics Society, describes the film as an "inspiring and empowering" documentary but criticized the stories beginning as "unfocused as Tremblay and editor Dan Litzinger crosscut almost too many stories"^[3]
