From Chakrulo to the stars
Ramaz Bluashvili is a Georgian filmmaker, documentary producer, photographer and science communicator whose work has focused on preserving stories of scientific achievement, cultural heritage and human exploration.
For more than two decades, he has researched remarkable individuals whose work has changed the world—from Georgian-American aviation pioneer Alexander Kartveli to the engineers, scientists and visionaries behind NASA’s Voyager mission.
His lifelong connection with Voyager began in childhood, when he discovered that the ancient Georgian polyphonic song Chakrulo had been selected to represent humanity on the Voyager Golden Record in 1977. That extraordinary story inspired decades of research and eventually brought him to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
At JPL, Ramaz met members of the Voyager community, including John Casani, Rob Manning, Suzy Dodd and the late Ed Stone. He later met Ann Druyan, Creative Director of the Voyager Golden Record. He was also invited to speak at JPL’s von Kármán Auditorium, where his father and brother performed Chakrulo—bringing the song’s journey from Georgia to the stars full circle.

Reaching JPL
The year a childhood connection to Voyager became a direct encounter with the mission’s people and legacy.
Why listen
Thoughtful conversations, grounded in research and trust.
Through hundreds of public lectures, documentaries, exhibitions and educational initiatives, Ramaz has introduced thousands of people to the power of science, exploration and curiosity. He has also organized international programs that brought children and students from Georgia to the United States, inspiring many to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology.
The Voyager Legacy Project represents the next chapter of that journey. Ramaz approaches every guest with preparation, genuine curiosity and respect. His role is not to compete with experts, but to ask the questions that allow them to reveal why their work matters.
Rather than simply documenting history, the project creates new conversations with people shaping humanity’s future—and preserves their ideas for generations yet to come.
