The Challenge

　Russia made a movie on the International Space Station(国际空间站)! The movie is called The Challenge (《挑战》). It tells the story of a Russian doctor. She goes to space to help a sick Russian cosmonaut(俄罗斯宇航员). The movie makers filmed it on the real ISS and the cosmonauts in it are real Russian cosmonauts. The actress, Yulia Peresild, played the doctor. She had never been to space before. To be in the movie, she had to train for six months. Then, she flew to the space station on a rocket and stayed there for 12 days.

　The movie’s director, Klim Shipenko, went to space with the actress. He filmed over 30 hours of video on the space station and tried not to miss anything. “Everything about this project(项目) was a challenge,” said Shipenko. He hopes the movie could help more people to know about the real space.
