Sally is now available to stream on Disney+, Hulu, and National Geographic!

Sally documents the secret life of Sally Ride, the first American woman to blast off into space, uncovering what it was like to be a woman in a male dominated industry, and why she chose to hide her partner of 27 years. We sat down with director (and return guest!) Cristina Costantini to dive into her obsession with Sally Ride at a young age, how a story about tampons inspired her to make this film, and recreating Sally and her partner Tam's love story in a warm and sexy way.

Rikki's is located in the iconic Castro district, and we got a sneak peak at the spot during their soft opening over the weekend.
