For All Mankind

During the four years between December 1968 and November 1972, there were nine manned space flights to the moon. Twenty-four men made the journey, the first human beings to leave the planet for another world. They carried with them their private thoughts and the collective aspirations of a nation. For All Mankind is composed entirely of footage the Apollo crews brought back, magnificently blown up to 35 mm and accompanied by a stunning, evocative score by Brian Eno. Using excerpts from over 80 hours of taped interviews with the astronauts, the film constructs one composite story of their journeys.
