Mercury 13
“Meet the women who dared to reach for the stars.”
Documentary
After rigorous testing in 1961, a small group of skilled female pilots are asked to step aside when only men are selected for spaceflight.
VIBE
A powerful look at overlooked pioneers. It's a frustrating yet ultimately inspiring journey through the ambition and resilience of women denied their rightful place in history. Feels like a lost chapter of the Space Race.
