Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to and 12 men walked on the moon.  IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is documentary celebrating one of man’s greatest accomplishments: walking on the moon.  The film features first hand testimony bringing together the surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the Moon. 

 

Interwoven with visually stunning archival material, re-mastered from the original NASA film footage, the result is an awe-inspiring look back an unforgettable moment in time, when Americans literally dreamed of going to the moon.  The astronauts who participated in the film include Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), Dave Scott (Apollo 9 and 15), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17).
