It could be argued that the Apollo missions were essentially a big, expensive photo opportunity for the propaganda machine of the Cold War, but Reinert's film serves to remind us that they also redefined who, where and why we are.

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,... 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.

Reviews for For All Mankind
Apparently, grown men tend to act the same on the moon. One astronaut in mid-leap shouts "Ya-hoo!" If you´re not smiling while you watch that, you´ve obviously never dreamed.
encapsulates with great power the wonderment of something that too many of us now take for granted
... not a documentary of an Apollo mission but the story man's odyssey to the moon...
If not the screen's ultimate portrait of space travel, For All Mankind remains a peerless planetarium show.
For All Mankind is about what makes these men all the same...and, to some extent what makes us all the same: our infinitesimal smallness in the humbling vastness of the universe. [Blu-ray]
Hipnótico ao trazer imagens absolutamente fabulosas de um (ou, a rigor, de vários) dos grandes momentos da História recente da Humanidade.
