In the Shadow of the Moon - On 4oD
This beautifully shot documentary told by the surviving Apollo Astronauts is one of many recent film 4 documentary’s that deserves recognition for its exquisiteness. So much so that ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’ is probably one of the best hour’s + thirty six minutes of your life that you won’t want back.
This documentary does more than just covers the Apollo missions but instead really sets the seed of living in 60’s America and her political battle to be the first country to put a man on the moon. A vision championed by the late Kennedy who sadly never got to see his American man on the moon dream through.
Space, Vietnam, civil rights, hippies, assignations, its all here.
