Mercury 13

In 1961, an extraordinary group of talented female pilots undergoes stringent tests with the promise of being part of history-making space missions. Despite their outstanding performance, they face a cruel twist as only male astronauts are eventually chosen to embark on this celestial journey. This thought-provoking film delves into themes of gender inequality, determination, and personal sacrifice, following these women as they navigate through the trials of being denied opportunities simply based on their gender. Amidst the backdrop of the space race era, viewers are drawn into a poignant tale about challenging societal norms and the pursuit of dreams in an unequal world.
