“A Million Miles Away” Movie Experience

May 3 @ 7:30 pm 10:00 pm

Come celebrate #NationalSpaceDay and the kick off of our Space for All Weekend! Come early to enjoy the park’s space-themed renovations and immerse yourself in added fun with the park’s Boeing-sponsored Space for Kidz app! FREE popcorn will be provided while supplies last! Remember to pack a blanket to sprawl out on the lawn. Low-backed beach chairs are also welcome! Please leave high-backed chairs at home so the view of others is not obstructed. Synopsis: Inspired by the real-life story of NASA flight engineer José Hernández, A Million Miles Away follows him and his devoted family of proud migrant farm worker on a decades-long journey, from a rural village in Michoacán, Mexico, to the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, to more than 200 miles above the Earth in the International Space Station. With the unwavering support of his hard-working parents, relatives, and teachers, José’s unrelenting drive & determination culminates in the opportunity to achieve his seemingly impossible goal. Acclaimed writer and director Alejandra Márquez Abella has created a dazzling tribute to the loyalty and tenacity of the entire Hernández family, as well as anyone who dares to dream.
