The moving documentary made about the life of Christopher Reeve titled Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve story is heading to digital outlets on November 5th. It went into the life and times of Reeve, who portrayed Superman on the big screen, and the redemptive arc of his life after a tragic accident that left him paralyzed. Here’s the synopsis.
Following a life-altering accident, Christopher Reeve persevered, inspiring the world by using his fame to speak of hope and change our perception of paralysis, all while remaining a dedicated activist, actor and filmmaker, devoted dad, and loving husband to Dana, the beating heart of the family.
From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, the film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.
