As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film shows the amazing story of Ilan Ramon, his life, his service in the Israeli Defence Forces and in the NASA astronaut program. This film shows how dedication and hard work pay off. It shows the courage of the families of the astronauts before lift off and after the devastating explosion of the shuttle Columbia. The families stuck together and helped each other deal with the tragedy. The families of the Astronauts on board the Columbia are brave people. Ilan Ramon was proud of being an Israeli and a Jew, he takes a special Torah Scroll into space with him. He brings the story of Jewish strength and perseverance to the world. This is film not to be missed!
