"The farthest" documents Voyager's journey, including first-hand accounts of the men and women who built the ships and guided their missions. Bonus film "Second genesis" explores the scientific quest to find life, or evidence of it, beyond Earth.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A great documentary on a fantastic voyage submitted by peteralway on August 31, 2018, 8:04pm As someone who watched the Voyager mission in my teens and 20's, it was a great experience to relive the wonder of the first clear views of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. I teach astronomy at a community college, and I highly recommend it. I confess I found myself in tears once or twice. Absolutely worth watching.
