Lost at Sea

Synopsis

Ed Dowie is blessed with an egalitarian spirit, though his attempts at optimism and his enjoyment of life are marred by kidney failure. For Ed this creates a constant cycle of treatment and recovery very much like the tidal movements of the sea. This portrait focuses on Ed's character and reflections whilst also showing Ed in his element, creating music.

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. 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. 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? 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.
