The Rugby Player

http://vimeo.com/73152280

A documentary about Mark Bingham, a gay man who died on this date in 2001 in the crash of United flight 93.

I saw it at Lazy Bear in Guerneville, CA this year. Mark's mom was present. She's a remarkable lady who raised a remarkable son.

I was dreading a depressing experience, myself when I saw it. There are, to be sure, tear jerking moments in it, but it's largely a celebration of the life and heroism of Mark Bingham.
