I recently caught this film about the actor Christopher Reeve, best known for a series of Superman films in the late 70s and early 80s - at least, until a freak riding accident at the end of the last century left him paralysed from the neck down with a spinal cord injury, after which he became a passionate activist and advocate for disability rights and research, until his death 20 years ago:
It's a very good film, although it may be painful, or even controversial, for some. I think I spotted something about it later appearing on Netflix or somewhere, but I may be wrong.
