Foreigners

Synopsis

Foreigners is an animated documentary about foreigners who live in London. The film, which is based on interviews with ten young people from all over the world who live in the city, pieces together vignettes from multiple points of view that reveal London as an international metropolis which is both exciting and alienating. The interviews suggest a fresh look on contemporary English culture, and raise more fundamental questions about cultural differences and human nature.

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
