Sinopse
Scorpions is a story of a disabled volleyball team from a small Cambodian rural village, Toul Prich. Despite the rather poor training conditions, the CNVLD Kampong Speu Scorpions is striving to become the best team in Cambodia's CNVLD national disabled volleyball league. Many of the team members have been disabled due to the millions of dud land mines still buried in the country as a result of the Vietnam War. The documentary discusses the post-war generation's life in a country with many scars; the reconstruction of the post-genocide society not only in a concrete but also in a mental sense. Even after harsh drawbacks it is possible to find a meaning for life. The film is a demonstration of the healing effects of sports.
