The Friedmans are an upper middle-class family living their inconspicuous lives. But their ordinary lives get questioned when father Arnold and son Jesse get arrested for the suspicion of molesting children. The community is sure they were doing more than just teaching little boys how to use spreadsheets in their computer class.

If you are convinced your average documentary is manipulating you, Capturing the Friedmans should convince you otherwise. It's really only a documentation. And what really happened, that's up for you to decide. Neither side seems honest. And director Jarecki balances on the neutral line between both grounds, while perfectly grasping the controversy and essence.

Remarkable in this case, are the home movies the Friedmans made when all this happened. What follows, is an emotional document about a family that gets shattered. But did they all deserve it?

Murderball, quadriplegic wheelchair rugby played by guys that don’t care about pity, unless it will get them laid of course. Mark Zupan is the badass American team captain. Joe Soares left the American team and joined the Canadian team to beat, of course, the Americans. And Keith has just been in an accident and is now in recovery, but already interested in Murderball.

All have their own daemons, but together they break down the stereotypical image of disabled people.

An inspirational story about hopes and dreams. Although we look back, the story mainly concentrates on the future. This is what they do. Not looking back, but coming out with more than they had before. An amazing display about passion, friends, family and rivalry.

You can keep your hugs, because they're about to kick some serious ass.
