Warrior Champions tells the emotional and inspiring story of a group of severely wounded American Soldiers, as they fight to turn nightmares of war into Olympic dreams. Iraq War Veterans Kortney Clemons, Scott Winkler, Melissa Stockwell, and Carlos Leon, as little as a year after losing limbs and suffering paralysis fighting for their country in Iraq, have set out to do what many thought impossible; to compete in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. Through failure, pain and triumph Warrior Champions follows these solider athletes for a full year as they compete for their spot on the US Paralympic team. Though at times heart wrenching, Warrior Champions is not a sad tale of the tragedy of war, but rather an uplifting testament to the human spirit that challenges every notion of what it means to be disabled.

The athletes followed, their story and accomplishments, and the artistry of the film makers are all remarkable. A truly uplifting film about some of our best and brightest making good from tragedy. I wish we'd seen more of Kortney's competitive struggle but the film was really entertaining and very well done.
