Murderball [videorecording] / MTV Films ; A&E Indie Films ; produced by Jeffrey Mandel, Dana Adam Shapiro ; directed by Henry-Alex Rubin, Dana Adam Shapiro.
A film about tough, highly competitive quadriplegic rugby players. These men have been forced to live life sitting down, but in their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs. Tells the story of a group of world-class athletes unlike any ever shown on screen. In addition to smashing chairs, it will smash every stereotype you ever had about the disabled.
