DVD Review: (White) Women in Space
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the kind of film you'd seen in a museum exhibit or waiting for a museum exhibit. The film shows stock footage of astronauts when discussing the women who died in the Challenger. It's a nice tribute to them, but just eats up time in a way. The interviewer asks much about the women's life after the journey. I would have liked to hear about life before. All these women earned Ph.D.'s or M.D.'s in fields rarely inhabited by women. One woman mentions cutting her hair. I wish this were explored more because weightlessness turned most women's hair into huge mushrooms. They almost looked like they had been electrically shocked. Two interviewees mention osteoporosis and I would have liked to learn more if this disease hurts women's chances of going to space. I enjoyed hearing a woman say most land on Earth is brown rather than green. However, this work goes into scientific questions about which I could not care less. Because a handful of African-American women and at least one Indian woman have gone to space, I was disappointed that this work only interviewed white women. They show a photo of the Challenger astronauts and it is conspicuous how all the women are white and all the people of color are male. This work explored the first women in space, so it might not be its fault, but little girls of color may leave uninspired by the absence of people/role models like themselves. This work has low production values, but it's okay nonetheless.
