Award-winning director Michael Apted (7-UP series, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER) presents a documentary study of the creative process. Interviewing artists of many media and from different parts of the world, he begins with the simple question, Where do you get your ideas? and allows the exposition to progress from there. Not restricted to mere biography, Apted looks for the creative spark which is common to all artists, from the multi-talented pop star David Bowie and internationally renowned pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, to the handcrafted arts of clay artist Naranjo-Morse and glass artist Chihuly.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.66Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Stereo 2.0 - English

Henry Alex Rubin and Dana Adam Shapiro's MURDERBALL is an inspiring documentary, which proves that physical limitations are no match for the human spirit. For the determined quadriplegic men who participate in the dangerous sport of quad rugby, it's more than just a game: it's a chance to prove themselves in a much bigger way. With armored wheelchairs and enough macho energy to overcome any challenge, the players engage in a violently physical game. The charming but intimidating Mark Zupan was angry and suicidal after a car accident relegated him to a wheelchair. He regained his confidence and spirit by becoming both a player and the spokesman for quad rugby's Team USA. Zupan's militaresque rival, Joe Soares, is a former star for Team USA who headed north to coach Team Canada when he was cut from the US team in 2000. Concentrating on the buildup to the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, the film introduces other awe-striking figures--young men who have risen to the challenge of the game time and time again. As the days build to the inevitable showdown between Team USA and Team Canada, Rubin and Shapiro fill the screen with story after story, prodding the audience to swallow their own individual stereotypes and appreciate the efforts of these extraordinary men. The magic of MURDERBALL is that it never feels preachy. Rather, it entertains as much as it enlightens.
