After rigorous testing in 1961, a small group of skilled female pilots are asked to step aside when only men are selected for spaceflight.

After 23 years on Death Row, a convicted murderer petitions the court for his execution. As he tells his story directly to camera, you gradually realise that nothing is quite as clear-cut as it at first seemed. The Fear of 13 is a stylistically daring experiment in storytelling – in effect a one-man play. Part monologue, part confessional and part performance, the film is illustrated with hyper-stylised imagery contextualising a narrative as compelling as any crime drama and features a final, shocking twist that casts his life in a new light. The protagonist carries the film with his charisma and literary turn of phrase recounting his experiences on the wrong side of the law, but David Sington’s film is more than an account of one man’s incarceration; it is both a damning indictment of the US penal system and an emotional meditation on the redemptive power of love and literature.

Archival material from the original NASA film footage – much of it seen for the first time – plus interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell, Dave Scott, John Young, Gene Cernan, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.

如果存在一个连“每个女生都知道”的数学方程式的话，那么答案莫过于爱因斯坦的相对论“E=MC^2”。然而如今，就有人要冒着摧毁这个二十世纪物理学根基的风险，挑战权威，质疑这个等同于公理等式的正确性。其始作俑者是世界上两位顶尖的宇宙学家，安迪·阿尔布雷特和乔奥·马古悠。他们提出了“光速可变理论”。这个疯狂的观念颠覆了大多数科学家的想象，因为这必须推翻近代物理学中所有因相对论而建立的物理世界。难道爱因斯坦真的错了么？
这场关于宇宙学上观念问题的争论，确实是一个意义深远的革命。正如乔奥所说：他并不想推翻和颠覆什么，而是想把这一切交由大自然去评判它的真伪。
