America in Space
Celebrating both the 250th birthday of the United States and the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 spaceflight, this series highlights the achievements and contributions of Americans to space exploration, through the lens of cinema. From the early, pre-launch days of hard science and hot-shot test pilots to the wonder and danger of the Apollo missions, Hollywood has explored many aspects of this period, many of them nominated for Academy Awards. The Right Stuff covers the period of the Mercury missions, and First Man takes a closer look at the life and career of Neil Armstrong. The wondrous documentary For All Mankind uses actual NASA footage for an overview of the entire Apollo program, and Apollo 13 tells the story of that nearly-fatal mission to the moon. Exhilarating, inspiring, and dramatic, these films document this period of American history that put intellect and aspiration at the forefront.
