Directed by Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by Michelle Williams, this documentary dives into the remarkable achievements of NASA’s Webb Telescope, showcasing never-before-seen images and mysteries that have intrigued humanity since the beginning of time.
“I hope the film gives people a little sense of the wonder of astronomy, of the universe, and our origins,” says Kahn of his aim in making Deep Sky. “If it sparks people’s interest in this unfolding story of where we come from and where we’re going, and if there is other life out there among the stars — if it sparks people’s interest in that, and urges them to continue to find out more about it, that would make me really happy.”
The film takes audiences to the very origins of time and space, unveiling cosmic landscapes and introducing us to possible worlds beyond our own. Through inspiring visuals and enchanting narration, Deep Sky encompasses NASA’s exploration and discovery.
Deep Sky shows the construction process and launch of the JWST. The documentary captures the magnitude of this scientific project, celebrating the efforts of countless individuals dedicated to solving the mysteries of existence.
