On the 40th anniversary of the 'Blue Marble' photograph, Planetary Collective presents a short film. It documents astronauts' life-changing stories of seeing Earth from space—a perspective-altering experience known as the Overview Effect.

First described by Frank White in 1987, the Overview Effect transforms an astronaut's view of the planet and humanity's place. It commonly evokes awe for Earth, a profound understanding of life's interconnection, and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility.

“MRS ROBINSON” chronicles Mary Robinson's half-century fight for justice and equality, told in her own words. It illuminates her battles on the streets, in courts, at the ballot box, and in corridors of power.

A reforming constitutional lawyer and senator, Mary made history as Ireland's President in 1990. She then served as UN High Commissioner, fearlessly challenging human rights abuses worldwide. Today, she chairs The Elders, an independent group founded by Nelson Mandela, dedicated to peace and human rights.

Directed by Aoife Kelleher and produced by Loosehorse, “MRS ROBINSON” was funded by Fís Éireann /Screen Ireland and the Utah Film Center. Pat Mitchell is among the executive producers.
