Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

If you happen to need a good cry, you can’t go wrong with “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” a documentary about decent people, bewildering misfortune and how bad luck can have a ripple effect—especially if you are lucky enough to have people who love you. If you don’t want to cry, you probably will. | The Wall Street Journal
