In the Shadow of the Moon finds new resonance in the moment when America redefined progress -- but also when it heeded the siren song of a world so desolate it reminded you what a paradise ours truly is.
The riveting documentary In the Shadow of the Moon, is an unexpected knockout.
The value of this film, not just to moviegoers today but to future generations, is simply enormous.
One small documentary for a filmmaker and one giant leap in inspiration for audiences.
In the Shadow of the Moon is such a morale booster. The power of its archival images hasn't diminished with familiarity.
The excitement, majesty and extraordinary human accomplishment of the American lunar program of the '60s and early '70s is rousingly captured in In the Shadow of the Moon.
