Dr. Sally Ride was known as the first American woman to reach outer space, but few outside of her inner circle were aware of her lifelong romantic partner, Tam O\u2019Shaughnessy. Facing down the sexism in the space program \u2013before and after her historic inaugural flight\u2013, Dr. Ride triumphed and inspired countless girls and women around the world. Emmy Award-winning director Cristina Costantini focuses her lens on Dr. Ride\u2019s incredible journey as PhD candidate at Stanford to trying out for the NASA space program to the incredible sexism she stared down en route to her historic outer-space journey. Sadly, Dr. Ride passed away young, at age 61, from pancreatic cancer, and it was revealed that O\u2019Shaughnessy was her life partner, a secret she hid from the rest of the world. With incredible archival footage and gripping testimony from her fellow space travellers, Sally <\/i>is a long overdue film about this heroic trailblazer.<\/p>\n<\/div>
