People around the world followed the exploits of 5-year-old cancer survivor Miles Scott, when he transformed into Batkid for a day in 2013. San Francisco pretended to be Gotham City, with Miles zooming around town defeating the bad guys.

His story is now a documentary which shows the details of how the Make-A-Wish Foundation pulled-off this uplifting event.

Directed by Dana Nachman, “Batkid Begins” had its red carpet premiere in San Francisco on Wednesday, June 24, 2015. The memorable evening was ushered in with ‘Batmobiles’-- a convoy of ten Lamborghinis chauffeuring the documentary’s cast and crew to the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas.

As they stepped out, Lou Seal, the San Francisco Giants mascot, was on-hand to greet them.

Already a favorite at the box office, the film debuted in four theaters on Friday, June 26, in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, and it is slated to continue its limited run around the country through summer.
