Astronaut, engineer and physicist Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, was an icon and role model who inspired women and girls everywhere.
The new National Geographic documentary film “Sally” explores the life and loves of the real Sally Ride. Much of the film’s first-hand perspective is delivered by Sally’s partner of 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy—a relationship both hid from the public during Ride’s lifetime.
“I didn’t like that we couldn’t be more open, but we were just cautious because of society and the culture around being different,” said O’Shaughnessy.
