Quote:
"Superheroes Anonymous is a collective of Real Life Superheroes who aim to do good in the world and inspire others. Originally founded in 2007 by Ben Goldman (Cameraman) and Chaim Lazaros (Life) as an annual conference for superheroes, Superheroes Anonymous has since become the legitimate face of the Real Life Superhero movement – bringing superheroes together in the real world to affect positive change."- from the Superhero Anonymous website

Author's notes: Life and Cameraman founded a project that quickly became larger than themselves. In addition to being a documentary over three years in the making, SA was one of the first meeting of RLSHs in person. The two made the transition and became RLSHs themselves, actively participating in the events they were documenting and hand out food and supplies to the homeless of New York City.
The New York Post recently did a round up of NYC RLSHs in an article
