José Moreno Hernández, son of Mexican migrant workers, had a dream as a child: he wanted to go into space. The film “Reaching for the Stars” tells its fascinating story in a moving way.
The life of José Moreno Hernández (played as an adult by Michael Peña) seems prescribed. His father, a migrant worker, shows him the workers in the fields and says: “Look, this is your future too!” But José has other plans. By the time he saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first people to set foot on the moon in July 1969, it was clear to the boy: he wanted to go into space.
“Reaching for the Stars” – available to stream on Prime Video – is the moving film biography about the life of a remarkable astronaut who steadfastly sticks to his destiny. The film tells the inspiring story of a person who comes from humble beginnings and makes it to space despite all odds. With iron will, education and determination, Hernández overcomes all obstacles to realize his dream of space travel.
“Reaching for the Stars” is a tribute to the power of the human will and a plea that dreams can come true.
