A new film out from Amazon Studios called A Million Miles Away tells the remarkable, real-life story of NASA flight engineer José Hernández. The film follows Hernandez, played by Michael Pena, as he journeys from a rural village in Mexico, to the fields of the San Joaquin Valley (where his family sought employment as migrant farm workers), to Houston, and eventually to the International Space Station.
In the audio above, Houston Matters producer Troy Schulze talks with Hernandez, as well as the film's director, Alejandra Marquez Abella.
