The Farthest
Part of the Documentaries Strand
Emer Reynolds’ mesmerising documentary follows the amazing story of the Voyager 1 mission, the first man-made object to leave our solar system and head off into deep space. Through a series of warm and generous interviews with scientists involved in the mission, the story of Voyager 1, and remembrances of the Golden Record bearing recordings (notoriously including a Chuck Berry song) and images of life on Earth, the tale of this incredible achievement is detailed in a magnificent documentary that is nothing less than memorable.
