Sunshine Superman

“Glorious daredevilry is wrapped in a slowly evolving ache in Sunshine Superman, a bittersweet documentary about Carl Boenish, who looked at very tall things and saw an opportunity to leap. ”~Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

Aroview: Hair-raising portrait of the late Carl Boenish, pioneer of the BASE jumping movement, whose early passion for skydiving led him to ever more spectacular feats of foot-launched human flight.

Also a keen engineer and film-maker, the doco features astonishing footage from Boenish's personal archives, anticipating the "Go-Pro" generation by some decades.
