NEW DOCS

In this study of the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, see the tragedy unfold from the multiple perspective of amateur photographers who recorded the explosion from the ground, the camera mounted inside the shuttle cockpit and inside Mission Control as they realize radio contact will never be reestablished with the astronaut crew. The spare choice of footage speaks for itself in this understated and enthralling view of the space program.  LB
