New ‘Batkid’ documentary will be a tear-jerker

Last November, the story of “Batkid” struck the heartstrings of Americans across the country as the city of San Francisco came together to give a 5-year-old battling leukemia one day spent as his favorite superhero.

Now, a new documentary will tell the behind-the-scenes story of how it all went down that day. Titled “Batkid Begins,” the documentary is currently seeking crowd-funding on Indiegogo for post-production costs including aerial shots of San Fran, music licensing and special effects. Of the filmmakers’ $100,000 goal, $49,000 has been met with 22 days remaining.

Check out the trailer for the tear-jerker — Twitter users are already showing their support (and their wet eyes).
