These men have been forced to live life sitting down, but in their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs.

Add a CommentExcellent documentary about the value of perseverence.
This is hands down my favorite documentary. I also voraciously read Mark Zupan's biography - "Gimp" - and I highly recommend it.
Documentary about wheelchair rugby. A triumph of the human spirit for sure. The brother of KPLU's Joey Cohn is one of the wheelchair athletes
This film is incredible! It is extremely well done. Everyone should see this movie!
