A heart-racing documentary portrait of Carl Boenish, the father of BASE jumping movement, whose early passion for skydiving led him to ever more spectacular – and dangerous – feats of foot-launched human flight.

Carl Boenish and his wife Jean were among the world's first BASE jumpers. Fearless and guileless, they and fellow daredevils saw a building, a bridge, a mountain and just had to make the leap. Both foolhardy and brave, they risked their lives for the thrill of flight.

In writer/director Marah Strauch’s horizon-spanning, heart-in-mouth documentary, we experience Boenish’s jaw-dropping journey in life and love, to the pinnacle of his achievements when he and wife Jean broke the BASE jumping Guinness World Record on the Norwegian Troll Wall mountain range. 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.
