THIS month marked the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 — the first successful moon landing. A great deal of coverage focused on the three male astronauts who set foot on the moon, but the work to get them there required hundreds of thousands of people.
Todd Douglas Miller’s new documentary about the events, Apollo 11, uses newly discovered 70mm film from the Nasa archives to tell this story of collective achievement.
Rather than simply showing us Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins throughout the eight-day mission, Miller includes detailed footage of the Nasa employees working on the ground to make sure the mission succeeded.
