Documentary from filmmakers Henry Alex Rubin and Dana Adam Shapiro,
following the quadriplegic men who play the sport of 'quad rugby'.
Driven and determined to overcome the limitations of their
disabilities, the men who play the sport professionally can risk
serious injuries in the tough, close-contact game. In the run up to
the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, Team USA and Team Canada begin to
square off for the showdown in the quad rugby final, as the
filmmakers subvert clichés and stereotypes of what it means to be
disabled, and what it means to want to win.
What was meant to be a six-week reprieve from Haiti for
missionaries Pritchard and Dana Adams, resulted in a 52 day
standoff with the forces of darkness. Pritchard, after suffering a
brain aneurysm while ministering in Didsbury, Alberta (Canada),
hemorrhaged a second time and was given very little hope of
recovery... if he survived at all. Locked in a deadly battle for
her husband's life, Dana engaged in a spiritual combat that
surpassed anything she had ever known. Knowing that Pritchard's
life was in the balance with so much at stake, she and a faithful
cast of intercessors chose to advance Into the Storm instead of
retreating from it. Read the story of God's faithfulness and series
of miracles that make this testimony an incredibly journey !

When fifteen-year-old Henry Every washes up on shore, the only
clues to his shocking death are those he leaves behind in a secret
ledger that someone mysteriously leaves on his parents' doorstep.
Crammed full of his darkly comic confessions, the pages detail
Henry's myriad misadventures on his wayward quest for
self-betterment: acts of petty crime with his best friend, Jorden,
a romantic obsession with the elusive Benna, and a prickly
relationship with a lethal jellyfish. Quietly wise and
laugh-out-loud funny, The Every Boy proves there's hope in the
darkest places -- you just have to know where to look.

It all began as a self-help journey in the purest sense. A serial
monogamist for more than two decades, Shapiro wanted to know why
the honeymoon phase of his relationships never lasted until the
actual honeymoon. Believing that you learn more from failure than
from success, he spent the next three years criss-crossing the
country with a tape recorder, interviewing hundreds of divorced
people, hoping to become so fluent in the errors of Eros that he
would be able to avoid them in his own love life--and one day be a
better husband.
The result is a timely treasure trove of marital wisdom that is as
racy as it is revelatory. Shockingly intimate and profoundly
personal, this is a page-turning, voyeuristic investigation of
modern love and a practical guide for any couple looking to beat
the roulette-wheel odds of actually staying together forever.
