[For All Mankind - Trailer] Watch the trailer for "For All Mankind" featuring Gene Cernan (narrator), Alan Bean (narrator) and Al Reinert (director)
Synopsis
Pulled from several million feet of archival film and eighty hours of interviews with the men who lived the experience, FOR ALL MANKIND is the official story of the Apollo missions to the moon, which took place between 1968 and 1972. Capturing the beauty of the technology, the enthusiasm of the astronauts and the pride of the nation that watched, the film steers clear of any political ramifications of the time, choosing wisely to present the stunning footage of the actual events with voice overs from the men themselves, creating a fitting tribute to a proud event in American history.
Los Angeles Times, 01/19/1990, p.F4, "...Dazzling, exhilarating....FOR ALL MANKIND is a remarkable labor of love....An unprecedented thrill..."
USA Today, 07/09/1993, p.8D, "...The film is more authoritative than any space equivalent you can imagine..."
New York Times, 03/16/1990, p.C16, "...Re-creates the sense of immensity involved in space travel....An amazingly fresh visual immersion in space..."
A.V. Club, 07/15/2009, "It's breathtaking....Reinart unearths stunning footage -- far removed from the fuzzy copies used as B-roll in other documentaries -- that captures the full scale of NASA's accomplishment."
Distributor Note
In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Al Reinert's documentary For All Mankind is the story of the twenty-four men who traveled to the Moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. Forty years later, it remains the most radical, visually dazzling work of cinema yet made about this earth-shaking event.
