Description

In 2008, the men’s wheelchair basketball team at the University of Illinois set out to reach their sport’s pinnacle: a college national championship. That lofty goal represented every other stage of a journey begun in 1948 when Tim Nugent established the Gizz Kids wheelchair squad. Embedded with the team, Josh Birnbaum took photos that captured the life experiences of people within the Illinois wheelchair basketball program from 2005 during the 2008 championship season. Dream Shot follows the unique lives of the players and coaches at the court and the road, and in quiet moments at home and the school room. Along the best way, Birnbaum provides the definitive story of the 2008 team and the challenges it overcame to capture one in every of Illinois’s record fifteen men’s titles. Featuring more than 100 color photographs, Dream Shot memorializes a legendary team alongside the tale of the university’s dedication to the progress of disability rights.
