FILMING NOW - 2023
A team of disabled veterans, taken under the wing of Joe Delagrave, 2x Paralympic Medalist and Head Coach for USA Wheelchair Rugby, the “Oscar Mike Militia” have hopes of winning games but their big wins aren’t on the scoreboards.
DESCRIPTION: Not your typical war story. A powerfully authentic documentary that follows the lives of injured, ill, or disabled military veterans who smash through sterotypes and statistics as they battle on a court now, like seated gladiators, playing wheelchair rugby, a full contact sport they lovingly call "murderball". This film works best because it combines bone-jarring scenes of the sport along with the incredible stories and lives of these unique teammates that have each been forged in fires of military service and then impairment in at least three limbs by either war or tragedy. Get ready to be moved, inspired and called-to-action by this refreshingly badass celebration of the human mind, body and spirit.
