An uplifting and stereotype-defying documentary about an unlikely hero and his unique relationship with his mother. The Rugby Player is the story behind the man after whom the Bingham Cup is named, Mark Bingham who was fundamental in the establishment of two premier gay rugby clubs – the San Francisco Fog and the Gotham Knights. He is also now known internationally as one of the heroes of 9/11.
This special screening presented by Queer Screen, the organisers of the Mardi Gras Film Festival, is followed by a special guest, which includes Mark’s mother, Alice Hoagland. More info/tix
