Christopher Reeve's kids wanted to be 'honest, raw and vulnerable' in documentary 'Super/Man'

Christopher Reeve's children say they made a point to include all the complexities of their father's life — his strengths and weaknesses — in the new documentary "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" — because that's what he would have wanted.

The film includes family home videos, mixed with interviews and movie clips of Reeve, who famously played Superman in four films, in addition to other acting and directing roles later in his career. Reeve's three children, Matthew, Alexandra and Will Reeve, say there were no restrictions on topics or videos used in their father's story.

"He wouldn't have wanted to be viewed through rose-colored glasses. He would want art and cinema and factual, comprehensive storytelling and that's what he got," Reeve's youngest son, Will, told The Associated Press. “It's important to us to be honest and raw and vulnerable and give a 360-degree view of a very human life, of a very human family.”
