SUNSHINE SUPERMAN

A heart-racing documentary portrait of Carl Boenish, the father of the BASE jumping movement, whose early passion for skydiving led him to ever more spectacular –and dangerous– feats of foot-launched human flight. Experience his jaw-dropping journey in life and love, from the pinnacle of his achievements, when he and wife Jean break the BASE jumping Guinness World Record in 1984 on the Norwegian ‘Troll Wall’ mountain range, to days later, when triumph is followed by disaster. Told through a stunning mix of Carl’s 16mm archive footage, well-crafted re-enactments and state-of-the-art aerial photography, Sunshine Superman will leave you breathless and inspired.
