The Murderball Review
From the gyms of America to the Olympic arena in Athens, Greece, Murderball tells the story of a group of world-class athletes unlike any ever shown on screen. In addition to smashing chairs, this Oscar nominated documentary will smash every stereotype about the disabled. It is a film about family, revenge, honor, sex and the triumph of love over loss. But most of all, it is a film about standing up, even after your spirit - and your spine - has been crushed.
