On May 27th, 1995, Christopher Reeve, known to the world as Superman, was paralyzed from the neck down in a riding accident.
Originally meant to be a three part series filmed by his son Matthew, Hope In Motion, and the subsequent documentary Choosing Hope follow Chris closely over many months of treatment. Everyday aspects of his family life are combined with regular visits to a medical center, documenting his recovery beginning with the movement of a single finger.
Sadly, Chris died before his most fervent wish could come to pass. What emerges through this film is a portrait of an intelligent, determined, candid and outspoken man who was able to maintain his sense of humor in the face of adversity. His inspiring personality will shine through as you follow his unpredictable, emotional journey.
