About the film
FORTITUDE is a new documentary about the people, perils and promises behind the emerging space industry.
A new Space Renaissance is emerging: Sparked by humanity’s unquenchable thirst for exploration, fuelled by capitalism’s insatiable hunger for profits and propelled by breath-taking technological advances. Fortitude uncovers how a few influential individuals with utopian ideas and vast fortunes are forging a trillion-dollar off-world industry while inspiring millions of us back on Earth. This is the story of those who take risks, invest the capital, and endeavour to turn science fiction into science fact.
Follow award-winning filmmaker Torsten Hoffmann (CRYPTOPIA) as he candidly meets leaders in the emerging space industry, including policymakers from the United Nations, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, leading venture capitalists, established technology companies such as Northrop Grumman and Viasat, as well as ambitious start-ups such as Planet Labs, Voyager Space, Exolaunch, Astroscale and many more. The film highlights that a new space age has dawned and challenges viewers to question the economic viability of the most hyped projects, sustainability way beyond planet Earth and billionaire bravado.
