For All Mankind (1989)

This documentary chronicles the Apollo space program through footage taken during the actual missions, the only sound provided by interviews with thirteen of the actual astronauts. For anyone into NASA and space flight, I’m sure this is incredible footage to watch. I am not one of those people and must admit to getting lulled into zoning out during too much of the film. There are bits I find interesting especially just knowing how much footage the astronauts managed to capture on each voyage, but one of the overlying feelings is how much litter we’re willing to leave on other landmasses as if we haven’t ruined our own planet enough.
