In July 1969; the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy’s challenge of: landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Al Reinert’s documentary; For All Mankind; is the story of the twenty-four men who traveled to the Moon; told in their words; in their voices; using the images of their experiences. Forty years later; it remains the most radical; visually dazzling work of cinema yet made about this earth-shaking event
