Eileen Collins was the first woman to pilot and command an American spacecraft. Born on the other side of the tracks in upstate New York, she smashed many glass ceilings in the Air Force and at NASA, culminating in four increasingly dramatic and dangerous space shuttle missions. With incredible archival materials and intimate interviews, Hannah Berryman’s nail-biting film shares the journey experienced by Eileen’s family, and explores what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavour.
