Learning on ScreenIn the Shadow of the Moon
- Synopsis
- This simple, stylish look at the Apollo space program is a quietly powerful rumination on the nature of patriotism, heroism, and humanity. Director David Sington utilises a narrator-less structure that intercuts stunning stock footage with insightful commentary from the surviving astronauts who walked on the moon. There are no experts, no voiceovers, and no recreations. Together with digitally re-mastered footage from the NASA Archive, the astronauts give their personal recollections of the missions and thoughts on their significance.
