Film Synopsis
Charity Woodrum was a nontraditional university student, raised in poverty, the first in her family to graduate from high school. In her mid-20s, she was married and nine months pregnant when she decided to return to school to study physics. Life felt perfect. Then, what she calls “The Worst Day.” Her world was destroyed.
With help from friends old and new, she finds her way back to the distant galaxies where she feels most at peace. Through devastating tragedy, she has kept her eyes on the sky. As a PhD candidate, she worked with Professor Marcia Rieke and Dr. Christina Williams as part of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Near-IR Camera (NIRCam) science team. Her research uses the Universe as a time machine to tell the story of how galaxies evolve over cosmic time. Charity graduated with her PhD in astrophysics and starts a job with NASA in September as an astrophysicist on the James Webb Space Telescope Team at Goddard Space Flight Center.
