Crossbar (1979)
Directed by John Trent
Crossbar is a Canadian television film, which aired on CBC Television in 1979. A fictionalized account of the career of Canadian amputee athlete Arnie Boldt, the film starred Brent Carver as Aaron Kornylo, a former Olympic medalist struggling to return to athletics after losing his leg in a farming accident. Carver is not an amputee; Boldt himself was a stand-in for the film's athletic scenes and others where it was necessary for the character's amputation to be visible.
