Murderball

Murderball focuses on physically disabled athletes who play for a wheelchair rugby team in a sport known as quad rugby. It follows the team as they discuss sport, life, and how they ended up in wheelchairs, while playing their way to the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games. The film offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of these young men, most of whom have spinal injuries, as they candidly discuss their stories, their love of the game, competitiveness, sex lives, and emotions. Quad rugby is a rough sport, and the players are more like seated gladiators.

Murderball is more than just a documentary about a single sport. It not only pays tribute to the players but also sheds light on the challenges faced by quadriplegics. It showcases the courage and determination of players battling against the odds to live life to its full potential.
