To the Moon and Back follows two Gen Z scientists chasing the same dream of becoming an astronaut in a profoundly unequal world. At Asclepios, a Swiss-based, student-led analog space mission under the mentorship of astronaut Claude Nicollier, Pauline from the Philippines and Ilyasse from Morocco train side by side. The film exposes how the new space race reproduces old hierarchies of gender, geography, and access to STEM education. Between rejection, resilience, and return, the documentary asks a brutal question: Who gets to leave Earth to imagine humanity’s future—and who is forced to stay and fix what’s been broken?
