Such a wonderful thing to happen
30 July 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is the true story of a little boy who at a year and half was diagnosed with Childhood Leukaemia. When he finally went into remission after 3 long years of chemotherapy treatment, his parents decided they would contact the charity Make a Wish. You see it was the little boy's dream to become Batman or Batkid. With the help of many thousands of volunteers, the city of San Francisco transformed itself for 1 day into Gotham City. Another little boy donated his batman costume.

This is a true story, its actually a documentary of the days events and those around it and to me it just proves what the power of social media can do. Wonderful. Such a heart warming story.
