Mir Friends

“A COSMONAUT IS STRANDED IN SPACE. THE U.S.S.R. IS ABOUT TO FALL APART. AND BERNARD HAS JUST MADE CONTACT.”

Described by one critic as 'Ballykissangel meets Apollo 13', this short (26 minute) film is based on the extraordinary true story of a Donegal 'ham' radio enthusiast who made contact with a Soviet cosmonaut stranded on the MIR Space station during the summer of 1991.
