ABOUT THE FILM:

Based on true events, Superman Doesn't Steal is a coming-of-age story, set in Atlanta in the 70's during the Atlanta Child Murders and seen through the eyes of 8-year-old Harriet, who is as fascinated with superheroes as is her older brother Jackson. However, when they experience a troubling series of events that impact their family, leaving emotional scars and causing them both to grow up fast, they must redefine their definitions of heroes, villains, themselves – and yes – even Superman.
