Airing on Sunday, February 2, at 8pm Eastern Time on CNN, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is "a moving and cinematic account of a man who not only embodied a hero on screen but became a symbol of hope," per CNN. Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, the documentary chronicles actor Christopher Reeve's rise to movie stardom after landing the iconic role of Superman in the 1970s, as well as the life-changing horseback-riding accident that left the performer paralyzed in 1995, and his subsequent work as a dedicated activist for disability rights through the rest of his life.
