The first American woman to test for space flight, Jerrie Cobb steps into an isolation tank for a record-breaking nine hours as her memories unfold before her, from learning to fly a plane as an Oklahoma child to testifying in Congressional hearings on NASA’s under-the-radar, all-female Mercury 13 program. They Promised Her The Moon is a compelling drama about the challenges of sisterhood and fighting for the greater good, based on a true story.
