Feature-Length Documentary
In the sixties, seventies and even eighties, children imagined they would be living in a future of flying cars and interplanetary travel, only to have those dreams dashed when the NASA space program stalled. The documentary 'Return to Tomorrow' explores how those who still believe are manifesting these dreams 50 years later. It features interview highlights with industry giants like William Shatner ('Star Trek'), Billy Dee Williams ('Star Wars'), Barbara Bain ('Space 1999'), Space X pilot Dr. Sian Proctor, and Astronaut Charles Duke, the youngest person to walk on the Moon, as they share their hopeful vision.
