Join us to watch the history of the moon landing directed by Al Rienart. This documentary was nominated for the Best Documentary at the 1989 Academy Awards, and became a winner of both the Grad Jury Prize and Audience Award for Documentary at the 1989 Sundance Film Festival.
Sorting through nearly one hundred hours of film and sound recordings recovered from NASA — shot between December 1968 and November 1972, in the heyday of the space programme — director Al Rienart has pieced together a seamless documentary commemorating the 24 men who travelled to the moon as the entire US watched in awe.
The film is a montage of images with voice-over interviews and comments from the participating astronauts of the moon landing. Brian Eno, famous for his ethereal music, provides the score. FOR ALL MANKIND presents an exhilarating portrait of an incredible human achievement, and was nominated for the Best Documentary at the 1989 Academy Awards
