PGSynopsis
A Million Miles Away (2023) is a biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM, with Michael Peña carrying the lead. It traces the road José Hernández took from picking crops in California fields as a kid to circling the planet aboard a shuttle.
Born to Mexican migrant parents, José grew up chasing seasonal harvests, sometimes switching schools more than once a year. Space felt like a joke for someone with his start. The movie follows the whole slog: night classes, an engineering degree, the rejection letters NASA kept sending back, and the stubbornness that wouldn't let him quit. Rosa Salazar plays his wife Adela; Garret Dillahunt fills out the cast.
Mexican director Alejandra Márquez Abella keeps the focus on the family and what the dream costs them, not on the hardware. The story is real: Hernández became the first former migrant farmworker to reach space. A good pick when you want something uplifting that skips the sugar.
