On Tuesday I got to see this award winning short film "Take Up Space" which is making its public debut on Friday. If you hurry you can catch a special virtual pre-release screening today, 3/30 at 4 PM PDT to watch and discuss with the producer/director Britt Duff Adkins of Celestial Citizen podcast. The film features 8 anonymous women and non-binary individuals telling their stories of discrimination and sexual harassment in the space industry. It is a story worth telling.
