Murderball, a documentary produced and
distributed by THINKFilm, chronicling two and a half years in the
lives of quad rugby athletes, won the Documentary Audience Award
and Special Jury Prize for Editing at the 2005 Sundance Film
Festival. The movie has been acclaimed by critics and is predicted
to win an Oscar for Best Documentary by Roger Ebert of the
Chicago Sun-Times. Though it contains all the elements of
a compelling “sports film” – rivalry, camaraderie and competition –
this film will tug the heartstrings of the most stoic fan as it
shatters the way audiences have previously viewed the disabled.
