Chicago – Today is the 50th Anniversary of astronaut Neil Armstrong’s first step on the moon, and an excellent documentary on the subject – simply titled “Apollo 11” is doing a “one day only” showing on July 20th, 2019. For theater locations and show times around the country (type in your area), click here.
Conceived and directed by Todd Douglas Miller, “Apollo 11” has an extraordinary no narration thread, opting to use and express the miles of available Nasa and news footage of the era. Explanations of situational elements having to do with the Saturn V rocket or Lunar Module are shown in 1969 computer graphics. This was one of the most filmed news events of the 20th Century, so director Miller cleverly allows the pictures of late 1960s technology to inform us again 50 years later.
