Over forty years ago, an ancient dream of mankind became reality: the first human set foot on the moon. This film illustrates this adventure with spectacular images and pays an impressive and touching tribute to the astronauts involved.
For the first time – and most likely the last – In the Shadow of the Moon brings together the surviving crew members of the Apollo missions and gives them the opportunity to tell their story from a very personal perspective. In concise words, the astronauts describe the tremendous impact this historic adventure had on them and how it changed their lives forever.
This moving first-hand account is accompanied by breathtaking, visually stunning archive material, including numerous original NASA film clips, most of which have never been seen before. The result is an intimate epic that impressively captures the dangers of this great venture and brings to life the pride and passion of an extraordinary era in American history.
