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.
