If anyone is doing so, one of these guys is probably involved.

That would be rad. Honestly, murderball has all the elements for a fantastic narrative film or documentary. Seeing people reclaim their lives through team sports after life changing trauma seems like a great story to tell regardless of the format.

Guy I met & 'assisted' (as an available friend, not hired) for a couple of years in Florida was involved with murderball & that movie through a foundation he and his also disabled wife had set up decades back.

Tigers. Unstoppable. He'd been a C-3 quadriplegic from a diving accident four decades earlier (at 21 years old). But through sheer grit had gotten enough use back in his arms to drive a specialty van, was rarely at home, went everywhere, ran a business, and was of the opinion that a motorized chair would be the death of him. Even did limited Qigong with us weekly.

She was every bit as tough. Tigers, I tell ya.
