  • Walk like a Man - A real life story about Blood, Sweat and Queers
    Walk Like A Man” is a story about challenge and adversity, brotherhood and belonging. This ninety-minute observational documentary follows two of the best gay rugby teams in the world - reigning champions, San Francisco Fog, and feisty upstarts, the Sydney Convicts as they face-off in the world’s largest amateur rugby competition, the Bingham Cup. This ultimate prize is named for 9/11 hero, Mark Bingham, a passionate gay rugger, who joined his fellow travelers and made the supreme sacrifice as they triumphed over terrorism on Flight 93. Walk Like A Man is a story of teamwork, and a drama of individuals. The individual players are very different men but each is a genuine athlete with a defiance of conventional perception, a dedication to his sport, and an unrivaled passion for life.
