Larry King interviews quadriplegic athletes Keith Cavill, Andy Cohn, Scott Hogsett, Bob Lujano, and Mark Zupan, who all compete in a fierce form of rugby known as Murderball. Each guy talks about how he became disabled and candidly open up about the initial difficulty in being handicapped as well as admit that playing murderball has changed their lives for the better by showing quadriplegics as aggressive people instead of pathetic helpless cripples. Moreover, these guys not only talk to some degree about their sex lives, but also point out that they aren't self-pitying whiners and hence have kept their dignity by living independent lives (Zupan notes that getting a driver's license was a huge step in regaining his independence). By far the most touching moment occurs when Zupan's loyal, but guilt-ridden friend Christopher Igoe calls in to bravely discuss the automobile accident he was involved in that resulted in Zupan's spinal injury and reveals that it took him a long time to forgive himself. Available as an extra on the DVD for the terrific documentary "Murderball," it's well worth a watch.
