Check out the sneak peek trailer from National Geographic’s new film “The Space Race” coming to the network beginning February 12. The film will stream February 13 on Hulu and Disney+.
The film tells the the stories of Black astronauts that sought to break the bonds of social injustice to reach for the stars, including Guion Bluford, Ed Dwight, and Charles Bolden and many others.
From 1963, when the assassination of JFK thwarted Captain Ed Dwight’s quest to reach the moon, to 2020, when the echoes of the civil unrest sparked by the killing of George Floyd reached the International Space Station, the story of African Americans at NASA is a tale of world events colliding with the aspirations of uncommon men. The bright dreams of Afrofuturism become reality in THE SPACE RACE, turning science fiction into science fact, and forever redefining what “the right stuff” looks like, giving us new heroes to celebrate, and a fresh history to explore.
Directed by Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortés and produced by Alexandra Bowen, Aly Parker, Mark Monroe, Keero Birla, Lisa Cortés, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.
Frank Marshall, Tony Rosenthal, Carolyn Bernstein, Leland Melvin serve as executive producers.
