This documentary tells the little-known story of the women who trained and tested for space flight in 1961, but whose dreams were dashed when only men were selected to become astronauts. These women — known as the Mercury 13 — took part in an unofficial program run by a NASA researcher to give women a place in space, and though the program was inexplicably shut down, this film at least allows these women to talk about their experience.
