Air date: Jul 18, 2019

"Rendezvous with Mars" is a film about a young girl's journey from her humble beginnings in the city of Bombay to becoming an astronaut en route to Mars. The film seeks to find a window into a human heart in conflict over its dreams and the act of being severed from everything it holds dear. The protagonist’s childhood is a metaphor for human civilization itself - with her curiosity and gumption. She grows dreaming about having the stars in her hands to actually going on a voyage beyond our planet in her adulthood. Her story involves her recognizing the childhood dream that we are all meant to be carrying.
