In the Shadow of the Moon is one of the better films about the journey to the moon. I have to admit the remaining Apollo astronauts have to be pretty sick of talking about this or they still are milking their journey. I believe all of them have written a book, been in a movie or two, and even after all these years they are still incredibly unemotionable about the whole fact that of the billions of people on Earth these are still the only the only men who can gaze up to that full moon and say "Yup, been there done that"
Actually this film does capture some emotion. They are actually a bit more dynamic then the test pilots that they are. Perhaps they are getting in touch with themselves at the ripe old age of 70 something! Some nice footage and a worthy film. It will be a sad day when all the men pass on especially if we haven't been back.
