Mercury 13 is a documentary film that tells the story of a group of women who underwent the same rigorous testing as the men selected for the Mercury space program in the early 1960s.
The film explores the discrimination these women faced in a male-dominated field, as well as their determination to prove that they were just as capable as their male counterparts.
Despite their qualifications and dedication, the women of Mercury 13 were ultimately denied the opportunity to become astronauts simply because of their gender.
This documentary sheds light on an important chapter in the history of space exploration and highlights the trailblazing efforts of these remarkable women.
