How the National Archives Helped ‘Apollo 11’ Get a Fresh Look

from Political Theater · host CQ Roll Call

The Apollo 11 Moon landing is one of mankind’s iconic stories. So how, with the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing coming up, does the documentary “Apollo 11” tell the story in a new way? For director Todd Douglas Miller and his team, it started with archival footage, some of it never seen, at the National Archives and other audio and visual files around the country. Miller discusses his new film, how it came together, both in middle of the politically tumultuous 1960s, and now, in politically tumultuous 2019. Learn more about your ad choices.
