Man and the Moon (2019 - 2019)

What would mankind be without the moon? Its existence is the result of a cosmic act of love: It is believed that it was formed around 4.5 billion years ago when a planet collided with the Earth. This is why we all literally carry its DNA within us. The film allows us to take another look back at how we humans discovered the moon.

Fifty years ago, man walked on the moon for the first time. Apollo 11 ushered in a new era. But will this encounter in space remain the climax of man’s relationship with the moon? The space agencies ESA and NASA think the time is ripe for a new lunar mission. But this time, astronauts won’t just walk on the moon, they will be there to stay.
