New Documentary Explores Life and Legacy of Christopher Reeve

Presented by his children at Sundance, 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' offers an intimate look at the actor's journey, from Superman to advocate for the disabled.

Christopher Reeve's life and career are explored in a new documentary titled 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story', which premiered at the Sundance Festival.
The documentary, presented by Reeve's children, coincides with the 20th anniversary of his death and includes personal home videos, archived interviews, and scenes from his films.
Reeve's children, who head the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, hope the documentary will help people understand the full complexity of their father's life.
The film features statements from colleagues such as Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, and Susan Sarandon, and addresses Reeve's close relationship with the late Robin Williams.
The documentary focuses on Reeve's altruistic work, his path to success, the ups and downs of his career, and his rebirth after the tragic riding accident in 1995 that left him a quadriplegic.
