Apollo 11

With newly released archival footage of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this documentary isn’t designed as much to inform as it is to inspire. There is no voiceover, no interviews, and very few informational title cards. It combines spectacularly clear, freshly transferred film footage with the audio feeds and news reports from the launch. It bittersweetly reminds the audience of what Americans are capable of (making huge technological leaps) if they could be on the same page and work together, instead of being usurped and outsmarted by technological rivals and their propaganda and disinformation efforts. That being said, of the many faces shown working on the launch, very few of them were women or racially diverse. Distilled down to one theme: America needs to be inspired again, and we’re ready for some new leaders who can do it. See it in IMAX.
