The Mars series is first and foremost an educational documentary that not only explains how living on Mars may happen, but also shows us through a fictional drama the various political, economic, technical, social, and logistical challenges we are likely to face. The film honestly addresses the natural conflicts of interests between private industry and governments, and between entrepreneurs and scientists. It also highlights mental health concerns, reproduction on Mars, and colonies’ dependence on Earth. The documentary interviews provide context as to why and how these challenges can emerge over time, giving the viewer a more realistic picture of what colonizing Mars would actually involve.
