Mercury 13

"Mercury 13" is a documentary film that tells the story of thirteen American woman pilots who took and passed the same tests given to the Mercury 7 astronauts in 1960. The film features interviews with Myrtle Cagle, Jerrie Cobb, and Wally Funk, who were part of this pioneering group of female pilots. The documentary explores how these women were overlooked for spaceflight opportunities due to institutional sexism.
