Murderball
http://www.takepart.com/
The athletes in Murderball transcend any images of the disabled that one might conjure up, and their day-to-day lives, their successes and failures on and off the court are a continuous example of defying negative perceptions and stereotypes. Any misconceptions about people with disabilities are quickly eliminated as soon as someone sees the film.
To assist you with your screening and discussion, download the Murderball discussion guide. It will help you lead a discussion on the film and the issues it addresses and includes guiding questions to encourage meaningful discussion.
