Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.

Charting the life of Christopher Reeve who at 3 years old his parents split and never really supported by his father and went on to do stage. In 1977 he got the starring role as Clark Kent/Superman which catapulted him to stardom. In 1984 he starred in Anna Karenina in which he was allergic to horses but doped himself up in amphetamines and started his horse show jumping and then in 1995 he had his riding accident which left him paralysed, to the point of giving up and then finding smile and laugh again.

This was a great programme/documentary on a great actor with home movies of himself and his family plus snippets of interviews he gave and how he was loved by friends, family and other celebrities and his friendship with Robin Williams.
