As the first American woman to travel into space, Dr. Sally Ride became a household name. Her groundbreaking achievements were celebrated in the mainstream media, yet much of her personal life remained a mystery. Through incredible archival footage, we watch both Ride’s exhilarating trajectory and her struggles to be taken seriously as a scientist and astronaut in a time of rampant, unvarnished sexism and homophobia. Very private and reluctant to be seen as anything but a serious colleague by her peers, Sally was not open about her relationships with women; to come out then was to risk everything she’d worked for professionally. In SALLY, we come to understand Sally Ride, who died in 2012, through the lens of her partner of 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy—including the pressures Ride faced to be an “All-American Girl.” With additional insights from her family members, closest friends, and fellow astronauts, SALLY provides a brand-new perspective on the legacy of this beloved, and complex, pioneer.  BD
