A whole life almost goes without words to tell the moving story of an entire human life. In emotionally striking images and fascinating color palettes, we follow the protagonist Rodney from his birth through the development of his dreams as a child and teenager of becoming an astronaut, to his time studying at the Johnson Space Center in Texas, during his journey into space, and upon his return to his home in Alaska – right up to his death there. Throughout his life journey, Rodney loses loved ones, becomes a father, experiences global tragedies, marries and divorces, buries his parents, and leaves behind children and grandchildren. A comprehensive look at a lived life with all its highs and lows.
