About the Film
Featuring never-before-seen film footage of humanity’s greatest scientific accomplishments, Apollo 11 is a not to be missed word-of-mouth hit from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, a cinematic event on the fiftieth anniversary year of this mythic accomplishment. “Apollo 11” takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission—the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future.
Special $5 ticket price for students 18 and under as part of the STEM Education Film Series sponsored by Verizon Foundation. Student tickets available at the door only.
Sunday night we will be joined after the film by Astronaut Charlie Precourt!

Precourt was also deputy program manager for the International Space Station, chief of the astronaut corps and director of operations for NASA at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. Charlie Precourt is currently the vice president and general manager of propulsion systems division for Northrop Grumman’s flight systems group.
”The NASA mission at the heart of the must-see documentary Apollo 11 reminds you what it feels to be truly awestruck.” -Entertainment Weekly
