Engage - Paul Kimmage

On a cold Tuesday morning in March 2005, the cream of young English rugby gathered in Northampton. Matt Hampson was one of them. He had dreamt of playing rugby for England ever since he had picked up a rugby ball. He was playing in an England Under 21 team that included James Haskell and Toby Flood. But during the training session that morning, as the forwards engaged, the scrum collapsed and Matt took the full force of the blow. He woke up in an intensive care unit, paralysed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator to breathe. In ENGAGE, award-winning journalist Paul Kimmage combines with Matt to tell this uplifting true story about one man's strength and determination to overcome the odds.
