and a unique artist or is it 2 artists one person the ambidextrous talents of russ cena . but we begin today with a new documentary about the moon landing 50 years ago i can still remember vividly remember as a young boy how the whole world seemed to stop and we watched in amazement as we saw live pictures being directly from the moon into our living rooms and incredible technological achievement at the time i also remember feeling a sense of global humanity that we as a planet where achieving great things and taking great strides well anyway here's a taste of apollo 11. this is the lunar mission like you've never seen it before the documentary apollo 11 turns us into witnesses of history. like you know what you feel as far as responsibilities represent

a bad guy on this trip the enormity of this event something that only yesterday will be able to care at. all evan is very simply been given a mission carrying men to the moon landing them there and bringing them safely back . like this is a movie 50 years in the making all the footage is original the voices are original no new shots no narration apollo 11 gives audiences a front row seat at the 1st manned moon landing as it really happened. the team of filmmakers used brand new technology to restore nasa footage from 1969 . we were all dumb struck immediately at how beautiful the cinematography was the detail in the footage that we were seen was
8:47 pm
something i just had never seen before there was 3 or 4 of us in there over just speechless. minutes and then we recreated the entire mission and 9 days so we have a timeline where you can look and see over $100.00 tracks of audio and that took the better half of a year just to compile that we were working with 18000 hours of uncatalogued audio 11000 hours of which was from apollo 11 the cabinet and the net the official with what it is there that we had hundreds of rails of footage nearly rediscovered footage reveals a candid look at the man who risked their lives you have to kind of would hold down one of the key moments what were the moments of humanity that happened what were the things that stood out what really got me was. the emotion on their faces you could see the weight of what they were about to do. in a way that i'd never seen it before and that's when i knew that we had something millions of people watched the moon landing 50 years ago now millions who weren't

yet born will see it almost as if they were there. almost as if they were the david leavitt's. i 6 tall great footage i mean it does look as though it was filmed yesterday i practically had to lift my job back off the floor rob and it looks so new and you know it looks so different to the images that we know from the lunar mission the ones that have burnt their way onto our brain i mean these are the images that inspired people 50 years ago when you see them now they feel like they could have been a 1000000 years ago but this rediscovered footage now and the way that they've restored it just changes everything you're looking at neil armstrong like you could be looking at your neighbor almost and it just makes us realize that this is actually what the world looks like and the lunar mission looks like for the people who were there back in 1969 so where did they find this incredible footage so the director todd douglas miller was in touch with the u.s.
8:49 pm
national archive about this and one day he got an e-mail from them that they'd uncovered a whole trove of leftover movie footage from project back in the 1960 s. nasa had a movie deal with m.g.m. that fell through but there was all this footage from it all this leftover footage shot by a great film team pristinely preserved now but it was in a very special format that no one had used in 50 years so they had to develop a whole new technology to scan this footage and just imagine how scary it was you've got this invaluable technology you're putting it through a brand new prototype of a scanner that no one's ever used before i don't think it was as had a harrowing as manning a mission to the moon but i think it was pretty. scary moments unfortunately it all worked out we've got this movie is just 11 thing the critics say about the movie though is the talk about the political aspects of the race to the right this was of course. the summit of this chapter between the soviet union and the us trying to
