The TVI Take

Todd Douglas Miller's 2019 documentary about the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, constructed entirely from unprecedented archival 70mm footage that had been sitting in NASA's vaults for half a century. The structural commitment to letting the actual mission footage and audio carry the documentary without narration is rare archival-documentary work that respects the source material.
