Miles Scott came to the attention of the world back in 2013. He is a young leukemia survivor from California and currently in remission. Back in 2013 the Make A Wish Foundation staged one of their most elaborate projects ever staged.

Thousands joined forces to make Miles’ wish come true. His wish was to be the real Batman, his hero. The whole city of San Francisco worked to transform itself into Gotham City and the results were staggering.

Batkid Begins is a documentary that takes you back to November 15th, 2013, the day San Francisco turned into Gotham City, and the day the internet was nice. The documentary is set for a cinema release in the coming months.
