The film is directed and produced by Todd Thompson, and shows how Nichols took her career in sci-fi television to a career in science itself. AdNews 6 spoke to Thompson about the documentary back in 2019 right after it showed to a standing-room only crowd at the Orlando Film Festival. “It’s important for me to tell stories that enlighten mankind and the world and make the world a better place,” said Thompson. “Nichelle certainly did that with her impact on NASA.”For more information on the film, click here.
