\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the best documentaries to come out last year was In the Shadow of the Moon<\/a><\/strong>, which explores the Apollo space missions<\/a> in the late 60s and early 70s.<\/p>\n

Containing interviews with the surviving Apollo<\/a> era astronauts<\/a>, including Al Bean<\/a>, Michael Collins<\/a>, Buzz Aldrin<\/a>, Charlie Duke<\/a>, and Harrison Schmitt<\/a>, it also contains previously unseen NASA<\/a> footage from the time.<\/p>\n

I spoke recently to director David Sington<\/strong><\/a> about the film and we discussed a number of things including who came up with the idea for the documentary, the legacy of the Apollo program and the reception the film in the US.<\/p>\n
