A Million Miles AwayAmazon Prime, review by Yvette Huddleston
Based on extraordinary true events, this biographical drama tells the story of NASA’s first Mexican astronaut José Hernández. The film opens in the late 1960s as young José and his migrant farmworker family travel back and forth between their home in Mexico and California where they do seasonal agricultural work. This is the necessary pattern of their lives but for José and his siblings it is a disruption to their schooling.
They begin a tentative courtship and when Adela asks José what his dream is – he tells her he wants to be an astronaut. She laughs, until she realises he is serious. Adela is bright, funny and capable, she also has a dream – to open her own restaurant serving authentic Mexican food – but that goes on the back burner as they start and raise their family of five children. In the meantime, José is making slow but steady progress in his career.
