'As long as a man can dream, he can push the limits of what’s possible.' Zambia, 1964: the space race has a new contender.
As the world’s great powers set their sights on the moon, a schoolteacher gathers a group of misfit dreamers and trains them for lift-off.
The true(ish) story of the Zambian Space Program, and a nation’s defiant dream to reach for the stars. A world premiere from Sky Arts Award-winning playwright Ryan Calais Cameron (For Black Boys, Retrograde).
'The Afronauts is a love letter to the dreamers history forgot. It’s about what happens when imagination becomes a form of resistance, and how the fight for freedom isn’t just political, it’s cosmic.' Ryan Calais Cameron
