Synopsis

Over two decades after man’s first voyage into space, the eagerness to explore and learn more about space travel sparked what seemed to be a brilliant idea: why not send a teacher into orbit, to deliver a science lesson to be broadcast live back to Earth? That is how Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old schoolteacher, was chosen to be America’s first private citizen to join astronauts on what promised to be an exciting adventure. Using never-before-seen archival footage and audio recordings, including news footage and interviews with NASA engineers, this documentary pieces together the moments leading up to the launch of Space Shuttle Challenger on a cold morning in January 1986. Tragically, the mission did not go as planned. Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes reflects on the human cost of space exploration, prompting audiences to consider the sacrifices inherent in mankind’s pursuit of knowledge and progress.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
