This event has passed.
Explore the cosmos with an exclusive screening of Amazon Prime's newest film, A Million Miles Away, at the Wednesday, September 13 installment of LIVE@Frost Science. Inspired by the real-life story of NASA flight engineer José Hernández, A Million Miles Away follows Hernández and his devoted family of proud migrant farm workers on a decades-long journey, from a rural village in Michoacán, Mexico to the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, culminating in Hernández's voyage to more than 200 miles above the Earth in the International Space Station. The film chronicles how Hernández's unrelenting drive and determination, along with the unwavering support of his hard-working parents, relatives and teachers, made this seemingly impossible goal possible. This dazzling tribute to the loyalty and tenacity of the Hernández family was written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alejandra Márquez Abella.
