Celebrate World Space Week at Kirkwood Community College every Tuesday in October! All daytime activities take place during the activity hour, 11:15 a.m. to 12:10 p.m., in 1158 Linn Hall. This event features the documentary: "Sepideh: An Iranian Teenager's Dream to Become an Astronaut."
Summary: Sepideh wants to become an astronaut. She spends her nights exploring the secrets of the universe, while her family will do anything to keep her on the ground. The expectations to a young Iranian woman are very different from Sepideh’s ambitions, and her plans to go to university are in danger. But Sepideh holds on to her dream. She takes up the fight and teams up with the world's first female space tourist, Anousheh Ansari. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.
