On the next episode of Sounds of Film, host Tom Needham speaks with director Hannah Berryman and trailblazing astronaut Eileen Collins about the powerful new documentary SPACEWOMAN.
SPACEWOMAN tells the remarkable true story of Collins, the first woman to pilot and command a spacecraft. From her working-class roots in Elmira, New York, to her groundbreaking career at NASA, the film traces a journey defined by perseverance, courage, and historic achievement. Through a blend of archival footage and personal insight, the documentary offers an intimate look at both the triumphs and challenges of life in space exploration.
The film also revisits pivotal moments in NASA history, including Collins’ leadership of the return-to-flight mission following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. In doing so, it explores the risks inherent in human spaceflight and raises compelling questions about ambition, sacrifice, and the drive to push beyond known limits.
