Murderball


Rating = B+

This is an excellent documentary and look into the lives of a set of quadriplegics who have gone beyond simply living with their problem to becoming skilled (and rough and tumble) athletes. The wheelchairs they use in their sport make me think of the chariots in Ben Hur. The night we saw the movie, the theater was almost empty in spite of very strong reviews. The theater people speculated that audiences just don't want to see disabled people. Don't make that mistake; go see it.
