This unusual documentary (or 'rockumentary') follows the adventures of Heavy Load, a punk band with a difference - all its members have some form of disability. However, this bunch don't let that get in the way of trying to make it - they have the same dreams, passions and ego issues as any 'normal' group. We follow 'The Load' over the course of two years as they record their debut album. This is an uplifting and hilarious film for all the right reasons: you never feel sorry for these people (not that they'd want your sympathy) - you can only admire them for their righteous desire to rock.
Unsentimental but optimistic film about two wheelchair-bound characters who form a strong bond with each other and their devoted, no-nonsense carer.
