Batkid Begins - The Wish Heard Around the World

I received a review copy of this awesome documentary movie that I watched with my boyfriend. This documentary follows Miles Scott, an American child and cancer survivor. His wish was to be “Batkid”, a sidekick of the eponymous comic book superhero Batman. I teared up and got goosebumps when I watched how selflessly so many people came together to give this courageous young man his wish. Miles knew for that day he WAS a superhero and had SAVED Gotham. Scott’s inspiring story and the way everyone pitches in, from the police to the San Francisco Giants to Hollywood special effects geniuses to President Obama took the world by surprise. This DVD is more like watching an expanded local news segment than a movie but is definitely a must watch for anyone that is looking see the good in the world, wants to be inspired, touched, and entertained.
