The Stars Over Broken Hill

The new space race is underway. But unlike the past, it’s not just superpowers competing—governments and private companies alike are pushing the boundaries of exploration from low-Earth orbit to the Moon. As humanity ventures further into space, we would do well to remember the lessons of our own history on Earth.

The Stars Over Broken Hill draws a powerful connection between past exploration on Earth and our future in space. Human history has often followed cycles of discovery, exploitation, and conflict. This documentary offers a cautionary reminder—and a hopeful path forward—as we expand beyond our planet.

Set against the Australian outback, the film weaves together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, the journey of rocks from “Silver City” to a rocket, and the unlikely path of a miner who became a NASA planetary scientist, offering a unique perspective on humanity’s place in the universe.
