Neil Armstrong: One Small Step

Neil Armstrong: One Small Step: Neil Armstrong, the American astronaut, who has died aged 82, cemented a unique place in the history of mankind by becoming the first person to walk on the Moon; though his personal achievement was a product of the Cold War's bitter technological and political rivalry, the successful completion of his mission proved a transcendent moment that captured the imagination of the entire planet.

My take

A meditative look at Neil Armstrong's historic lunar landing and the man behind the mission. This is the kind of documentary that reminds you why we look up—stirring, reflective, and deeply human beneath the technological achievement.
