If You Believe They Put A Man On The Moon
Advantages: Thought Provoking, Informative
Disadvantages: One Sided, Padded out too much
...are winning.
Following on from the successful Apollo 13 movie, this series looks at the American space program in more detail. This is the brainchild of Tom Hanks and Ron Howard. This is less of a documentary and more a factual dramatisation.
Conclusion
The story of sending men to the moon is one of the most fascinating of the 20th century. So there is a lot of story to tell, going back from the Mercury program through Gemini to Apollo.

...the telling of the story from the American point of view, so all the people are portrayed as whiter than white. Whether this is the truth or not is open to speculation, but all the Astronauts have perfect nuclear families.
The Apollo One disaster that cost three Astronauts their lives and put the whole program in jeopardy is told here very well indeed, with emotions running very high and tempers fraying. The consequences of the accident are told ...
