Space, Hope, & Charity: The Remarkable Journey of Charity Woodrum is an award-winning independent documentary film about Charity Woodrum, a young woman from rural Oregon whose dream of becoming an astrophysicist is nearly derailed when she suffers a devastating tragedy.

Charity was a nontraditional university student, raised in poverty, the first in her family to graduate from high school. In her mid-20s, she was married and nine months pregnant when she decided to return to school to study physics. Life felt perfect. Then, after what she calls "The Worst Day,” her world was destroyed.

With help from friends old and new, she finds her way back to the distant galaxies where she feels most at peace.

Join us at PUMC for a special screening of this remarkable film! Afterwards, we will have the chance to engage with Charity, the filmmaker Sandy Johnson, and a local friend of Charity’s. This is an opportunity to be inspired by someone who has walked through tremendous challenges in a way that can help guide us on our own sometimes-challenging paths.
