From debut filmmaker Jess Jacklin, this high-stakes and heart-warming documentary follows three New York men who meet at Mount Sinai Hospital’s neuro-rehabilitation lab and decide to form the first fully quadriplegic e-sports team. Through innovative technology developed by Dr. David Putrino (known colloquially as the “Quadfather”), Richard, aka “Breadwinner1007,” Blake, aka “RepNProof,” and Prentice, aka “Mongo Slade” pursue their shared dream to compete as athletes in the e-gaming world while subverting societal assumptions about disability. Featuring striking animation by Tim Fox and intimate vérité footage that captures the men’s everyday lives, Quad Gods is a story of resilience, fortitude, and the power of the human mind and spirit.
