Synopsis:

‘As long as a man can dream, he can push the limits of what’s possible.’
 
Zambia, 1964: the space race has a new contender.
As the world’s great powers set their sights on the moon, a schoolteacher gathers a group of misfit dreamers and trains them for lift-off.
 
The true(ish) story of the Zambian Space Program, and a nation’s defiant dream to reach for the stars. A world premiere from Sky Arts Award-winning playwright Ryan Calais Cameron (For Black Boys, Retrograde).
