As honest and powerful as the man it memorializes, THE RUGBY PLAYER is a moving documentary on the life of Mark Bingham, a passenger on United flight 93 on 9/11, and his mother, Alice Hoagland (who is scheduled to attend). An aspiring filmmaker, Mark used his videocamera to capture daring, hilarious, and intimate moments with his wide circle of family and friends. In the aftermath of unbelievable tragedy, we see how a son’s heroism can inspire a nation, and how a mother’s love can turn profound loss into unshakable resolve. Winner of the HBO Audience Award at the 2013 Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.
