Editorial Review:

Product Description:
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is an intimate epic, which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this extraordinary era in American history. Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 American men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. Now for the first, and very possibly the last, time, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON combines archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never before seen, with interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), Dave Scott (Apollo 9 and 15), John Young (Apollo 10 and 16), Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17), Mike Collins (Apollo 11), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). The astronauts emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional and very human.

- The Moon and Other Adventures

I have a clear and vivid memory of Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon because my brother made sure I would.
I was seven years old at the time. My brother, Daryl, a decade older than me, said, "You have to watch this and remember this. This is history." So I watched closely and made sure to remember; as did billions of other people around the world on July 21, 1969.
That wonderful historical moment and the hard work that led up to it is beautifully captured in the new documentary, In the Shadow of the Moon. Directed by David Sington, this film understandably won the audience prize at the Sundance Film Festival because it leaves viewers cheered and inspired.
It was rather astonishing to hear in the film President John F. Kennedy propose, almost promise, that America ... Read More

- "Moon" is an out-of-this-world film!
"In the Shadow of the Moon" is a first rate film that highlights the national effort to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade of the 1960's. It chronicles the early failures and the few successes as NASA experimented with rockets. Using interviews with the surviving astronauts and archival film footage, much of which has never been seen before, the film follows the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. It is a captivating film and the interviews with the astronauts, a risky venture since it had the potential to be boring and self-serving, is actually extremely interesting, funny, and heart-warming. I first saw this film at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem, NC and the film's director and producer were on hand. Strangely enough, they were British filmmakers ... Read More

- Great gift for NASA fans
I enjoyed watching this myself, but my dad absolutely loved it. He was an engineer at NASA in the 60's and this brought back so many memories for him. He said that it was very accurate and that it gives so much "behind the scenes" information. He wanted our whole family to watch it because it helped us understand the work that he did while at NASA. If you have an older family member who worked for NASA or followed the space program closely, this will make a great gift!

- Very Interesting, But Armstrong Was Missed
This documentary had some fantastic footage in it, and featured a very personal look at many of the astronauts who went to the moon. Overall, that is a very exclusive club: only about a dozen men ever did it in the history of the world and just eight or nine ever stepped foot on it. Most of them are still alive and they discuss their adventures, insights and personal feelings here.

One gets the feeling that the rest of us will never know exactly how beautiful the moon is except to take the astronauts' words about it, because even the pictures on this DVD can't convey that. It just looks dull and gray, but the men say it was spectacular. I believe them.

Since this documentary is about 100 minutes long, you get a lot of information. You also get reminded how close two of the ... Read More
