Christopher Reeve

The film will chart Reeve’s rise to becoming a film star, including his portrayal of Superman; and his life following his near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Following the accident, Reeve became an activist for spinal cord injury treatments and disability rights. It marks the first time that the Reeve Estate has granted any filmmakers access to its archives, including home movies and interviews with Reeve’s children.
