This Brutal Documentary Will Destroy All Your Expectations About Sports Films

Established in Canada in 1976, wheelchair rugby is a full-contact sport that has been a paralympic staple for decades. Played by mixed-gendered teams of twelve, eight players with limited function in their limbs speed up and down a basketball court in armored wheelchairs with the intent of carrying a ball across a goal line. It has the same amount of speed and force as any full-contact sport, especially those similarly on wheels like roller derby. A main principle of the game is slamming your chair into your opponents like bumper cars, including knocking them over. Falling is part of the game, as are the injuries that come with it. It is an entertaining sport to watch, a fast-paced, intense, scrappy competition with explosions of action. Due to its high velocity and violence, before it was officially sanctioned, the game was called murderball.
