Jaei LaPlate in conversation with Directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui and Christopher Reeve’s sons Matthew Reeve and Will Reeve at DOC NYC Summer Sessions.
America knew actor Christopher Reeve as Superman, but to Will Reeve, now an ABC News correspondent, he was “Dad.” Will was 12 years old when his father died in 2004, and then in 2006 his mom Dana Reeve also died. Will sits down with Anderson to share what he calls his “long journey into grief.”
Directors Peter Ettedgui & Ian Bonhôte, Editor Otto Burnham, and Composer Ilan Eshkeri share how the narrative's dichotomy shaped the structure of Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, allowing the filmmakers to not only amplify the film’s emotional impact, but enabled them to share the story they truly envisioned.
Following a life-altering accident, Christopher Reeve persevered, inspiring the world by using his fame to speak of hope and change our perception of paralysis, all while remaining a dedicated activist, actor and filmmaker, devoted dad, and loving husband to Dana, the beating heart of the family.
