SPACEWOMAN is a film about astronaut Eileen’s extraordinary journey to become the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Born on the other side of the tracks in upstate New York, she smashed many glass ceilings in the US Air Force and at NASA in her career, culminating in four increasingly dramatic and dangerous space shuttle missions. With an incredible set of archival materials, intimate interviews, and a moving score by Marcelo Zarvos, this nail-biting film shares the emotional journey experienced by Eileen and her family, and explores what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavour.
