I'm sorry. This movie description just makes my jaw drop.

Rugby-playing quadriplegics compete for the Paralympic gold medal in this documentary about an amazing sport and the strong-willed athletes who play full-contact rugby using specially designed wheelchairs.

Whu...whut?

Is anyone else thinking DeathRace2000?

The movie is actually awesome, and not exploitative in the least... I've seen most of it, these guys are serious athletes who haven't got the time or the energy to waste on complaining about their ragdoll legs.

The wheelchairs are usually chro-moly frames with steel rails and wheelcovers, and are built like small tanks. Think the bottom half of a Dalek without the bubbly bits. And a maniac sitting in it.

Wow. We gotta see that!
