Murderball

Fierce rivalry, renewal of the human spirit and larger-than-life personalities, Murderball is courage redefined!

Winner of the Sundance Documentary Audience Award and nominated for Best Documentary at the 2006 Academy Awards®, Murderball is a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby players. Whether by car wreck, fist fight, gun shot, or rogue bacteria, these men are forced to live life sitting down. In their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash the hell out of each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs.

Spanning over two years, Murderball will take you on their journey; from the gyms of middle America to the Olympic arena in Athens, Greece. These amazing men, their diverse personalities, bawdy wit and individual stories of recovery, redemption and romance will leave you energised and inspired. Unlike anything you've seen before, Murderball is about family, revenge, honour, sex (yes, they can) and the triumph of love over loss.
