PREVIEW: APOLLO 11 (U)
ON JULY 20, 1969, America took one giant leap for mankind when the Eagle lunar module touched down on the surface of the Moon, carrying commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.
Broadcast live on television to the world, the Apollo 11 mission allowed America to slingshot past the Soviet Union in the widely publicised space race and fulfil US President John F Kennedy’s legacy.
To mark the 50th anniversary of this historic event, documentary film-maker Todd Douglas Miller rifles through archive footage to relive the day when humanity blasted into the inky void of space and planted a flag in previously uncharted territory with a glorious view of the third rock from the Sun.
An edited 45-minute version of the film screens in the IMAX big screen format at selected cinemas.
