Disney has released the first trailer for the upcoming National Geographic documentary film, “Sally”, which tells the story of Sally Ride, who became the first American woman to blast off into space, but beneath her unflappable composure, she carried a secret. Revealing the romance and sacrifices of their 27 years together, Sally’s life partner, Tam O’Shaughnessy, tells the full story of this complicated and iconic astronaut for the first time.

Check out the “Sally” trailer below:

From National Geographic Documentary Films, “Sally” is directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Cristina Costantini, who said in a statement regarding the release:

“I can’t recall the exact moment that Sally Ride first captured my imagination, but I know that I’ve been obsessed with her story from a very young age. I was drawn to telling the story of a trailblazing woman fighting for respect in a male-dominated world. But above all, I wanted to explore the beautiful, unknown love story between Sally and Tam O’Shaughnessy. Their enduring relationship was kept secret from the public for 27 long years. Our film celebrates the Sally we all knew through her accomplishments and, for the first time, pays homage to the one we never could know.”

This documentary was the winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

“Sally” is going to premiere on the National Geographic channel on June 16th 2025 and it will be available the next day on Hulu and Disney+ in the United States.  No details on the international release for Disney+ have been announced yet.
