MURDERBALL (2005) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Henry Alex Rubin, Dana Adam Shapiro

 

"A film about paraplegics overcoming obstacles to compete in wheelchair rugby at the Athens Paralympics. The strength of this documentary film lies in the fact that it is a genuine portrayal of the rage and aggressiveness that the competitors of this sport live and swear by, finding through this full contact and borderline brutal sport a chance to live life to the fullest. As such, this is no film about unlikely heroes and Cinderella stories, and is just as intense as its title would have you believe."
