The Moon
Film recalling our fascination with the moon leading up to Neil Armstrong's landing in 1969, and the lack of interest which led to the cessation of lunar expeditions in 1972.
1972 was the year a great affair ended, as the human race fell out of love with the moon. Just three years after the world was gripped by Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind, the last man left the moon and we have never been back.
This film tells the epic story of our love affair with the moon - what inspired it, how it faded away and how we are now falling in love all over again.
