SPACE DOCUMENTARY - IN DEVELOPMENT

Milestones to the Stars

An international documentary exploring five Grand Challenges that could shape the next era of human spaceflight.

The Pulitzer Air Race documentary bridges a century of innovation, from the roaring 1920s air races that pushed aviation into the modern age to today’s revolution in electric flight. In 1925, daring pilots raced roaring engines for speed and glory; in 2025, pioneers gather again to compete with clean, quiet, and sustainable aircraft. Through rare archival footage, personal stories, and the voices of modern visionaries, the film captures the spirit of competition, progress, and imagination that defines aviation. It is a story of legacy and transformation—how yesterday’s race for speed became today’s race for the future of flight. Produced by Susan Roe Musacchio, a third generation Aviatrix.  IN DISTRIBUTION

At Poplar Grove Airport, a dedicated group of restorers rebuild a Curtiss Jenny, bringing the Golden Age of Aviation back to life and revealing how preserving one airplane keeps history—and spirit—airborne.
