Millions touched. Who would have thought a 5-year-old boy who fought leukemia would transform a city and a nation for a day? Batkid Begins tells the heartwarming story of Miles Scott, the young cancer survivor who captured the world's attention when the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted his request to be his favorite superhero for a day. On November 15, 2013, San Francisco was transformed into Gotham City where tens of thousands of people showed up in person and more than a billion people, including the President, took to social media to cheer on The Batkid.
