In the Shadow of the Moon is a British documentary film about the United States’ manned missions to the moon. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival where it won the World Cinema Audience Award.
In the Shadow of the Moon follows the manned missions to the moon made by the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The documentary reviews both the footage and media available to the public at the time of the missions, as well as NASA films and materials which had not been opened in over 30 years; all of which has been remastered in HD. Augmenting the archival audio and video are contemporary interviews with the surviving astronauts who walked on the moon. The former astronauts have the only speaking roles in the movie, although occasional supplementary information will be presented on screen with text.
It is scheduled for a limited release in the United States on September 7, 2007. Here, you can see a video clip from the film itself.
