Goalball: A Sport for Good Listeners is about the blind team sport called goalball. Developed after World War II to rehabilitate soldiers who lost their vision in combat, it is now played world-wide at the Paralympic level. In this documentary, goalball players explain how they coped with losing their vision. They describe the frustrations of having to repeatedly prove themselves to public school teachers and coaches. For many of the athletes, overcoming this obstacle was more challenging than playing sports. Many of the Goalball players credit Goalball with raising their self-esteem.
