MurderBall

Rented It.

A great flick about wheelchair rugby that follows various quadriplegics. It examines the cause of their "Handicap", their recovery, and life - including their involvement with wheelchair rugby. An interesting documentary-type film that really shows what determination can do. Damn those guys can hit hard! :B

A great rental, but not something I'd watch multiple times.

:35: out of :5: :T :T

It even made the frontpage of Rotten Tomatoes!

This documentary introduces the U.S. quad rugby team -- a team composed entirely of young paraplegic men. Using special wheelchairs and very little protection, the players play full-contact competitive rugby, using rules only slightly altered to accommodate their limitations. The film follows the team as they discuss the sport, their lives, and how they ended up in their chairs to begin with, while they play their way to the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece.

EDIT: Another great film I saw from this company was "Born into Brothels".
