[edit] SynopsisIn the Shadow of the Moon follows the manned missions to the Moon made by the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The documentary reviews both the footage and media available to the public at the time of the missions, as well as NASA films and materials which had not been opened in over 30 years. All of this has been remastered in HD. Augmenting the archival audio and video are contemporary interviews with some surviving Apollo era astronauts, including Al Bean, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Charlie Duke, and Harrison Schmitt. The former astronauts have the only speaking roles in the movie, although occasional supplementary information is presented on screen with text and archival television footage presents the words of journalists such as Jules Bergman and Walter Cronkite. Neil Armstrong, the first person to set foot on the Moon, declined to participate. The documentary shares its name with a book by space historians Colin Burgess and Francis French, and both include many original interviews with Apollo lunar astronauts. The documentary offers a view of the Apollo program that is complementary to the book and is neither a source nor a tie-in. [edit] ParticipantsTen of the twenty-four astronauts who orbited, looped around, or landed on the Moon appear on camera. Six of the remaining fourteen astronauts who reached the vicinity of the Moon have died. The remaining eight were not featured in the film. All manned Apollo flights with the exception of Apollo 7, which did not go to the Moon, were represented in the film. The film is "presented" by Ron Howard, whom the producers brought on after the film was made to help promote it. There is no narration in the film. [edit] Apollo 11
