This documentary about wheel chair rugby is an interesting look at life after tragedy and the complexity of the rivalry between an old USA team player who now coaches the Canadian team and his ex-teammates. The portraits of these athletes is very engrossing and the MTV style of editing/direction makes the sport look more exciting that it actually is. Call me shallow, but mid-way through this movie I was convinced that wheel chair rugby would be the worst thing to ever watch from the tip off to the final buzzer. It's not as brutal as I was expecting, so I was a little let down.
However, seeing these guys regain some normalcy in their lives after horrific car accidents and life threatening childhood illnesses hooked my interest and for that reason I would recommend watching it.
