Your Friendly Neighborhood Hero

You’ve seen them on CNN and read about them in BIZARRE. But who are these do-gooders donning costumes to patrol our neighbourhoods or clean up the streets?

This documentary examines the motives, minds and lives of four US heroes. ‘Superhero’ is a former wrestler with a souped-up ’75 Corvette who patrols the streets of Tampa helping stranded motorists. ‘Master Legend’ is a Hurricane Katrina survivor and claims to have died twice, fighting crime with psychic powers. ‘Mr. Silent’ is the mysterious masked leader of the Justice Society of Justice. ‘Hardwire’ is a teenager living in North Carolina who struggles to find a suit that fits comfortably. These unique characters are unashamed to follow their dreams with unnerving fortitude.

Delve deep into their universe and explore the driving force behind the call to be Real Life Superheroes.
