‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’ flying to streaming soon
It’s 1978 and you’re sitting in the theater watching one man become an iconic hero. The film is Superman, and the actor is Christopher Reeve, who would go on to play the man of steel in three more movies. Yet, his acting career was cut short when he became paralyzed after a horse riding accident. Confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, not only was his world changed but so was that of his wife and three children.
Which brings us to this year’s critically acclaimed documentary based off his life, entitled Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. Released in theaters earlier this month, it is now headed to streaming according to When To Stream. Though not officially confirmed as the site admits, it is predicted to be available starting November 1st.
The documentary follows the life of Christoper Reeve after his accident, complete with home footage and both family and celebrity interviews. It’s the story of a man – and family – who suffered great, unexpected tragedy. Yet, Reeve chose to rise above it and seek to make a difference in the lives of those who are physically disabled. That’s the story of a true hero and a wonderful embodiment of the hope that Superman is supposed to represent.
