Synopsis
An incredible documentary about a brutal form of rugby played by people in wheelchairs. It's a game for those without fear, with the players are often vicious and ruthless on and off the court. One of the main focuses of the film is an American who goes to coach the Canadian national side to get revenge on his former team-mates after he was deemed too old to keep playing. The film powerfully uses sport as a way to examine the individual's various lives, hopes and fears.
