IAN BONHOTE & PETER ETTEDGUI – Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

Christopher Reeve played the Man of Steel in four films, but his real superpowers didn’t emerge until after his tragic accident. Filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, who made Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, speak with Westdoc about their long journey to get the film made, Reeve’s family and their personal memories, clearance, licensing, financing and the essence of documentary characters. Heroism requires challenge. Christopher Reeves met the challenge and soared faster than a speeding bullet.
