The Artist and The Astronaut is the story of two people on seemingly divergent life paths who were affected and profoundly changed by the sociopolitical events and trends of the 1960s and 1970s.  Highlighted by the simultaneous struggle for peace and equal rights with the greatest human challenge of all time – to reach for the stars – this film offers a surprising, inspiring and deeply touching narrative of true Americana seen through the life intersections of Apollo/Skylab astronaut Gerald P. “Jerry” Carr and renowned artist Pat Musick.
