Sally Ride became a household name after she became the first American woman to blast off into space. But as Sally journeyed among the stars, she kept a nearly three-decade relationship with author and tennis player Tam O'Shaughnessy a secret.rnrnOn Saturday, April 5th, the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) will screen SALLY, a chronicle of Sally Ride's challenges as a pioneering woman in STEM, and the sacrifices made during her years together with her life partner. For the first time, SALLY tells the whole story of this complicated and iconic astronaut.

¡Muchas gracias por escuchar este episodio! En este episodio nos dedicamos a hablar sobre Mucho mucho amor: La leyenda de Walter Mercado (2020), un documental distribuido por Netflix. Dirigido y escrito por la dupla conformada por Cristina Costantini y Kareem Tabsch, el film retrata las raíces de la célebre figura del astrólogo puertorriqueño. Además, responde la interrogante de su repentina desaparición de la televisión. Está disponible en Netflix desde el 8 de julio del 2020. Te recomendamos una película alemana... para esos fans de Dark. Baran Bo Odar, el director de la serie aleman, hizo El Silencio del Hielo (2010), una pelí que comienza con una bicicleta en un campo de trigo. Una adolescente desaparecida. 23 años atrás, una niña, Pia, fue violada y asesinada exactamente en el mismo lugar. ¿Le pasará lo mismo? Eso se pregunta, Krischan, el policía jubilado que llevó la investigación. Hay una conexión entre los dos crímenes, de eso está convencido. En el primer momento, sus esfuerzos por atrapar al asesino fueron en vano; pero esta vez su joven compañero y él están decididos a llevarle ante un tribunal. Inicia, simultáneamente, un período insostenible de espera e incertidumbre para los padres de la chavala desaparecida. Bichas y cine es un podcast centrado en el séptimo arte.
