TEXAS PREMIERE

Director: Yaniv Dabach
U.S.A., 2006, 68 min.

Oh boys! Why do we strive so hard to be real men? It's far too difficult. This really enjoyable documentary charts the fall and fall of New York's only gay rugby team, The Gotham Knights. As the cold season begins (shiver), it's very clear that some of these fellas have never touched an oblong ball in their lives. But bless 'em, with each resounding defeat they dust themselves off and scrum down tightly for more. Along the way we meet the young and short NYU scrum half who wants to play rugby, not GAY rugby (is there a difference?), an ex-marine with three kids at home, and best of all, the post-match beer fest in New York's leather-man Eagle bar where even their straight opponents seem up for anything as long as it's wet. Up and under anyone?

Preceded by the short:

Division III
