Christopher Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Portrait filmmaking — about a person, not an event. Camera close, editing unhurried. This requires patience and rewards it.

Rich material, fresh angle. The film changes your understanding of the subject — or at least makes you reconsider. That's what documentary is for.

Works for those who already know something about the subject and want depth. Newcomers may struggle without context.

Director: Ian Bonhôte
