The Forum is pleased to host The Bridge Lab screening of The Space Race, the 2023 National Geographic Documentary Film from directors Lisa Cortés and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. 

The film screening will be followed by a conversation and Q&A with: Lisa Cortés (director), Shawn Johnson (executive producer), and Karen Greenfield (SVP, Inclusive Content & Engagement, National Geographic), moderated by William Keys, Co-Founder, The Bridge Lab.
