In their first British interview, Christopher Reeve’s children talk in moving detail about how the family clung together in his fight against paralysis

From the [London] Sunday Times:

Matthew Reeve, a 28-year-old film director, and his sister Alexandra, 24, discuss “Christopher Reeve: Hope in Motion,” a pair of documentaries Matthew made about their father. The interview coincided with recent announcements of advances in the stem cell research their father believed would lead to a cure for spinal cord injuries.

“My dad was always extremely optimistic that science could get him out of his wheelchair,” said Matthew, whose films about his father were recently released on DVD in America. “For him it wasn’t a question of if, but when.”

Alexandra added: “Our dad might not be with us any more, but the issues he cared most about still are.”
