Christopher Reeve was an unknown stage actor when he was cast to play the titular role in the 1978 film Superman, the first live-action superhero blockbuster. Physically fit, charming and modest, Reeves’s own wholesome character was often conflated with his cinematic persona, and as a sports and adventure family man his life seemed perfect. But a horse-riding accident in 1995 left him with a severe spinal injury that paralyzed him from the neck down, and he entered a whole new chapter of life as an activist for people with disabilities and a campaigner for stem cell research. He also continued to make films, with a renewed perspective on disability representation and inclusion within the film industry. This documentary gives voice to his closest friends and family as they recount their memories of a beloved man, who may have been superhuman both on screen and in spirit.
