A documentary finally puts the story of the screen’s most famous Superman, and his incredible life after acting, in cinemas.
A gifted Juilliard student with classical aspirations, Christopher Reeve became a global icon early, even as fame isolated him from his family and other paths. When a horse-riding accident left him paralysed from the neck down, he found new life through the support of his loved ones – and through activism for the disabled, the chance to be an even bigger hero. With the support of those who knew him, directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui (McQueen) craft a thorough, polished retrospective for the actor and activist. Archive recordings of him and interviews with his family and friends leave no doubt that he possessed incredible strength and generosity, and in no film more than this one.
