Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with filmmaker Cristina Costantini about National Geographic’s documentary SALLY, on Nat Geo June 16.
Sally explores the life and legacy of astronaut Dr. Sally Ride, who became the first American woman to blast off into space and forever changed the course of science, exploration, and women’s empowerment. But as she flew into orbit, Ride faced the challenges of institutional critics and the prejudice of an American public who were skeptical that a woman could do the job of an astronaut.
Undeterred, Ride dove headfirst into that struggle, propelled by a determination few could match.
Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, Sally also chronicles the 27-year romance with life partner Tam O’Shaughnessy, which was kept secret from the public until the day of Ride’s death.
