Award-winning director Ryan White (The Keepers, Serena, The Case Against 8) will join Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture’s David Gibson for a screening and a discussion of White’s acclaimed new documentary: Good Night Oppy.

Good Night Oppy tells the true story of Opportunity, a rover sent to Mars for a 90-day mission that ended up surviving for 15 years. The film follows Opportunity’s groundbreaking journey on Mars and the remarkable bond forged between the robot and her humans millions of miles away.

The film raises powerful issues about our relationship with machines and our place in the universe, and it may point to the ways that science and religion—and a shared sense of wonder—can find common ground.
