Murderball (2005) - 20th Anniversary Celebration Weekend

This Free Screening is in celebration of The Moxie's 20th Anniversary Weekend! See the full list of events here. Tickets on sale soon. Murderball features fierce rivalry, stopwatch suspense, dazzling athletic prowess, larger-than-life personalities, and triumph over daunting odds. But Murderball, the original name for the full-contact sport now known as quad rugby, is played by quadriplegics in armored wheelchairs. Watching them in action - both on-court and off - smashes every stereotype one has ever had about the handicapped. It also redefines what it is to be a man, what it is to live a full life, and what it is to be a winner. Murderball is a story like no other, told by men who see the world from a different angle. Nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature, Murderball also took the Audience Award for an American Documentary and a Special Jury Prize for Editing at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.
