Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, is the subject of a new documentary titled “Sally,” directed by Cristina Costantini. The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, delves into Ride’s remarkable life beyond her groundbreaking space mission in 1983. It explores her personal struggles, including her 27-year relationship with Tam O’Shaughnessy, a children’s science writer.

Ride’s determination and perfectionism are highlighted in the documentary, showcasing her drive to succeed in a male-dominated field. Growing up during NASA’s efforts to diversify its astronaut program in the 1970s, Ride, a PhD candidate in physics, was among the 40 astronauts hired out of 8000 applicants, including 1500 women.

The film combines archival footage with interviews from fellow astronauts and colleagues to paint a vivid picture of Ride’s professional journey and personal challenges. It addresses the pressures on female astronauts to conform to male standards and the evolution of attitudes towards gender roles in space exploration.

One poignant aspect of the documentary is Ride’s relationship with O’Shaughnessy, which remained private for many years due to societal attitudes towards LGBT+ individuals. The film beautifully captures their bond and the impact of Ride’s battle with pancreatic cancer, which she fought privately until her passing.

The soundtrack, featuring songs that held special meaning for Ride and O’Shaughnessy, adds emotional depth to the narrative. The documentary pays tribute to Ride’s legacy, both in her scientific achievements and her work with the Sally Ride Science non-profit organization, inspiring young women in STEM fields.

Overall, “Sally” is a moving tribute to a trailblazer who defied expectations in both her career and personal life. Costantini skillfully captures the triumphs and sacrifices of Ride’s pioneering journey, ensuring that her story continues to inspire future generations.
