A look at the exciting sport of wheelchair basketball at the Paralympic level, and some of the Australian men and women who played in the 1996 Paralympics and were preparing for Sydney 2000 when filmed. Six elite athletes discuss their lives and their disabilities, as well as the sport of wheelchair basketball - how it is played, its origins, and one of the more contentious issues surrounding it, namely whether able-bodied people should play the sport. These athletes see wheelchair basketball as an important element in breaking down stereotypes about disability within the community. And they do so with great humour and ability. (F-Reel)
