Murderball

Multiple Directors
Appeared at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
Documentary filmmakers Dana Adam Shapiro and Henry-Alex Rubin extend an invitation into the ultra-macho world of quadriplegic wheelchair rugby, a rough and tumble competition that's part MAD MAX, part roller derby. Despite the Road Warrior ethos, the competition has brought meaning and hope to men coping with life in seemingly shattered bodies. Often critically compared to HOOP DREAMS, MURDERBALL was nominated for a Best Feature Documentary Oscar and won the Audience Award and a Special Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
