Murderball
Author:
Hopscotch Entertainment
Abstract:
Fierce rivalry, of the human sprit and larger-than-life personalities. Murderball is courage redefined! Winner of the Sundance Documentary Audience Award and nominated for best Documentary at the 2006 Academy Awards, Murderball is a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby players. Whether by car wreck, fist fight, gun shot, or rouge bacteria, these men are forced to live life sitting down. In their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash they hell out of each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs. Spanning over two years, Murderball will take you on their journey: from the gyms of middle America to the Olympic arena in Athens, Greece. These amazing men, their diverse personalities, bawdy wit and individual stories of recovery, redemption and romance will leave you energised and inspired. Unlike anything you’ve seen before, Murderball is about family, revenge, honour, sex (yes they can) and the triumph of love over loss.

The Long Goodbye
Author:
Kaye Harrison
Abstract:
On the eve of a dementia epidemic, three families reveal how love and humour can balance despair for those living THE LONG GOODBYE. Our brain makes us who we are, it gives us our memories, our ability to think, to understand the world around us and it gives us our sense of self. All this is slowly stripped away for a person living with dementia. THE LONG GOODBYE follows the journeys of three families living with dementia as they struggle to maintain the identity and dignity of those they love. Filmed over a 3 year period, the documentary celebrates the capacity of the human spirit to search for meaning and hope when the end is known and inescapable.
