Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

Chronicling the personal and professional life of actor and activist Christopher Reeve before and after the near-fatal 1995 horseback riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down, this documentary uses Reeve’s own words, as well as intimate input from his closest family members and friends, to paint a rich, nuanced portrait of a man who refused to be defined by his physicality. Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, the film is illustrated with a multitude of film clips of Reeve as Superman, and includes never-before-seen, intimate home movies as well as an extraordinary trove of personal archive material. A moving and cinematic story of bravery and perseverance, triumph and tragedy, and love and devotion, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story shines a spotlight on how Reeve became a symbol of hope to his wife, his family, and the millions of people he touched throughout his life, proving to all that you don’t need tights and a cape to be a hero.more
