| Summary |
In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Twenty years later, Al Reinert constructed a documentary that imparts the unforgettable story of the twenty-four astronauts who traveled to the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program, told in their words and in the voices, using the images they captured. With its awe-inspiring, other-worldly footage and a haunting atmospheric soundtrack by Brian Eno, For All Mankind stirs us with a profound sense of compassion for the "pale blue dot" that is our home, and it remains the most radical, visually dazzling work of cinema that has been made about this earthshaking event. |
