Sally

Sally Ride became the first American woman to blast off into space, but beneath her unflappable composure, she carried a secret. 

Sally skillfully weaves together the dual threads of Ride’s story: the private romance she shared with her partner of 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy, and the professional trajectory of her time in the space program that saw her contend with overt sexism and homophobia, prompting her secrecy. Rare archival footage brings the viewer behind the scenes to witness NASA training and missions, while press appearances reflect the media frenzy Ride was subjected to both before and after her historic first flight.Sally is directed by Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Cristina Costantini (Mucho Mucho Amor).
