A SPORTS MOVIE LIKE NO OTHER: TOUGH, HONEST, SEXY "Two Thumbs Way Up!" - Ebert and Roeper
Admission is FREE and refreshments will be provided.
Parking Available in Lot 1B and the Pavilion Parking Garage, Racine and Harrison "Featuring fierce rivalry, stopwatch suspense, and larger-than-life personalities, MURDERBALL, is a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby players. In their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash the hell out of each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs.
"From the gyms of middle 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, it will smash every stereotype you ever had about the disabled. It is a film about family, revenge, honor, sex (yes, they can) and the triumph of love over loss."
