A new documentary about the life and love of America's first woman in space will premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
"SALLY," from National Geographic and director Cristina Costantini, reveals the legacy of NASA astronaut Sally Ride. Featuring archival footage filmed both on the ground and in space, along with new interviews with Ride's close friends and colleagues, the documentary allows access to the "real Ride," who struggled with the "limits and sacrifices true heroism demands."

Sally Ride wanted to be remembered as being fearless.
In reality, though, the first American woman to fly into space was scared — and it had nothing to do with her leaving the planet.
