Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is the title of an upcoming documentary film about actor Christopher Reeve, famous for the role of Superman in the theatrical movies. The film will follow his life as an iconic actor and as someone who, after an accident that paralyzed him while riding a horse in 1995, became an advocate for the advancement of spinal cord injury studies.
The film is directed by Matthew Reeve, son of Christopher Reeve, who fuels this passion into creating a film which not only remembers his father’s accomplishments but who talks about him as an action hero, highlighting his courage, his voice, his battle against all the odds, and the world’s awareness of spinal cord injuries he left behind. With excerpts of footage behind the scenes, coverage and personal tales, Super/Man will open the curtains about Christopher Reeve’s life that was seen by many but never portrayed in the media — a man who conquered all through sheer force of will.
