Ajyal Competition - Ajyal Film Festival 2019
Synopsis
The overview effect is the sensation described by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space: an overwhelming sense of the fragility of life on our planet, and a connection to the whole human race. Former NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski calls it "a profound life experience that stirs the soul". Can Kevin, a teenage patient in hospice care, experience the same effect through virtual reality? Donning a VR helmet, he embarks on a mission to the International Space Station to find out.
