Participant Productions Set to Release "Murderball"
Participant Productions will partner with THINKFilm and MTV Films for the upcoming July release of the acclaimed film MURDERBALL. Featuring fierce rivalry, stopwatch suspense, and larger-than- life personalities, Murderball, Winner of the Documentary Audience Award and a Special Jury Prize for Editing at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, is a film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby players. Whether by car wreck, fist fight, gun shot, or rogue bacteria, these men were forced to live life sitting down. In their own version of the full-contact sport, they smash the hell out of each other in custom-made gladiator-like wheelchairs. And no, they don't wear helmets.
MURDERBALL, winner of two major prizes at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, is based on an article by Dana Adam Shapiro, who directed the film with Henry Alex Rubin. The film was produced by Jeffrey Mandel and Dana Adam Shapiro. Watch the trailer here.
