Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. A heart-racing documentary portrait of Carl Boenish, the father of the BASE jumping movement, whose early passion for skydiving led him to ever more spectacular –and dangerous– feats of foot-launched human flight. Experience his 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 in 1984 on the Norwegian ‘Troll Wall’ mountain range. Incredibly, within days, triumph was followed by disaster. 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.   Bonus Features Behind the Scenes

Marah Strauch directs this documentary about Carl Boenish, the father of modern BASE jumping. Together with his wife Jean, Carl brought new energy and daring to skydiving by shunning planes in favour of fixed structures to jump from. Popularising the movement by filming his jumps, Carl promoted the sport and encouraged safety through his self-published magazine. However, his greatest passion was also his undoing when, days after setting a new BASE jumping Guinness World Record with his wife, Carl died while attempting a solo jump off the Troll Wall in Norway.
