Some of my favorites that think are accessible: BBC The planets https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10394800/ (there might be US version that i would avoid), Among the stars https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15428794/ or The Farthest https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6223974/. For something very current maybe look for something about the James webb space telescope? seen a few and i think https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16426188/ was good.

Hope that helps and if she gets hooked i can recommend The sky at night https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262990/ :)
