Product Description:

Shot between December 1968 and November 1972, in the heyday of the space program, FOR ALL MANKIND tells the true story of the 24 men who travelled to the moon as the entire US watched in awe. Using previously unseen NASA film of the nine manned Apollo space missions and the narration of the astronauts themselves, the film presents an exhilarating portrait of an incredible human achievement.

Plot Synopsis:

Pulled from several million feet of archival film and eighty hours of interviews with the men who lived the experience, FOR ALL MANKIND is the official story of the Apollo missions to the moon, which took place between 1968 and 1972. Capturing the beauty of the technology, the enthusiasm of the astronauts and the pride of the nation that watched, the film steers clear of any political ramifications of the time, choosing wisely to present the stunning footage of the actual events with voice overs from the men themselves, creating a fitting tribute to a proud event in American history.
