NYC PREMIERE Humanity’s next great frontier lies just above our heads in the further reaches of our planet’s atmosphere. It’s a fast-paced and high-stakes race in which rockets and satellites are taking over Low Earth orbit to gain control over our planet. Oscar-winning filmmaker Ross Kauffman follows the rollercoaster journey – exhilarating triumphs to gut-wrenching setbacks – of tech startups vying for a piece of this unchartered territory. Beneath the shiny veneer of progress is the dark side of capitalism’s insatiable appetite for profit. The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with filmmaker Ross Kauffman.
