Little Miles was once diagnosed with leukemia and wanted nothing more than to be Batman. The "Make A Wish Foundation" then tried to fulfill this wish by rounding up the villains from the Batman universe and fabricating a few crimes, only to have Miles thwart them. However, in the course of planning, this took on such large proportions that the whole of San Francisco became Gotham City, everyone wanted to help in some way, and in the end several thousand onlookers even witnessed the heroic deeds of the Batkids. Now Warner Bros. has made a documentary out of it and the trailer alone is so incredibly good! The film will be released in a few cinemas on June 26th, but will also be released on DVD in the near future. So for the rainy days when you need a little encouragement.
One child. One wish. Millions touched. Who would have thought a 5-year-old boy who fought leukemia would transform a city and a nation for a day? No one. Not his family. Not his friends. Not the thousands of volunteers who came from near and far to help make his wish come true. But it did.
Batkid Begins is a documentary that takes you back to November 15th, 2013, the day San Francisco turned into Gotham City, and the day the internet was nice. More than a billion people took to social media to cheer on BatKid, even President Obama! In all, the #SfBatKid and #BatKid hashtags reached more than 1.84 Billion people on Twitter and Instagram. This wish and this little caped crusader resonated with so many people, including us, and we wanted to find out why.
