Amazing Documentary

This is the film I compare all documentaries to when selecting films for the Vero Beach Film Festival. Rebound is inspiring and heartbreaking. It is much more than a "sports" movie. This is a powerful way to share people's stories with those that often time overlook them or don't give them the opportunities they deserve.

The direction was very strong as the featured characters were very natural discussing their personal situations and relationships on camera candidly. As an audience member, I was rooting for the team's and the individual athletes' success. I felt immersed in their lives.

By the way, you have a seventh festival win. You were a winner at our festival in 2016 as well!!!

Inspiring

Very inspiring film! Truly a great production. Hats off to everyone who worked on this film, must watch! These are true underdog stories that teach you no matter what's thrown your way get up and keep rolling with the punches. Had the pleasure of meeting a few of the members of the cast real life warriors who against all odds continue to succeed and find ways to succeed. It's inspirational to know that great people still exist in this world. These guys have every reason to give up n stop trying and there is just no quit in them. Keep pushing keep striving to be better keep growing it's the name of the game !!

Outstanding documentary!!

The Rebound is an outstanding documentary! Compelling, exciting, emotional, and educational. Action packed for sports fans, depth of characters to keep you hooked, and expert production for visual appeal. You enter into the world of wheelchair basketball as an onlooker, and end up as a forever fan. Along with competitive sport, you come to know and love the main characters, their families, and their friends. If you are new to the world of adaptive sport, this is a great place to start to gain awareness, and to begin to understand the experiences and lives of players in the NWBA. Highly, highly recommend!!

Captivating!

This documentary is one for the history books. I was absolutely captivated from the opening scene of the film. I love how they captured all the raw emotions of the players not only at the games but more within their daily lives. There is this realness in how the director Shaina tells the story of the players, their struggles and how they keep persevering to keep winning and playing the games with all their heart. Before watching this film I never even knew there was a wheelchair basketball division. I love this film and will be watching it with my little daughter when she gets older. Absolute must watch!

Inspiring!

This documentary is amazing. These athletes are incredible. I also really like how this film shows you what's going on off the court as well. Get ready to cry, but in a good way.
