Documentary on Christopher Reeve Premieres at Sundance

The upcoming documentary 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' explores the life of the late actor, known for his iconic role as Superman, who faced a devastating spinal injury from a horse-riding accident in 1995. In the film, Reeve reflects on his initial despair, contemplating death until his wife Dana's words—'You're still you. And I love you'—changed his outlook. The documentary features interviews with Reeve's three children and friends, along with archival footage, showcasing his journey as an actor and his advocacy for paralysis research through the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Premiering at Sundance in January and set for limited release, it promises an emotional tribute to his legacy. Will Reeve, Christopher's son, expressed pride in the documentary, highlighting the family's effort to share their story authentically. Christopher Reeve passed away in 2004 at the age of 52, and Dana died in 2006 from lung cancer.
