Fascinating Trailer For The Upcoming Documentary APOLLO 11: QUARANTINE
CNN Films, Neon, and IMAX have released the first trailer for a great looking short documentary film titled Apollo 11: Quarantine, which is a spin-off from the awesomely made Apollo 11 film from 2018.
This new doc focuses on the fascinating story behind the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission when they had to quarantine after their mission to the moon in 1969. It will "feature never-before-seen 70mm footage sourced from the National Archives and NASA." The three members of the Apollo 11 crew were required to quarantine for three weeks after landing back on Earth. This doc sheds some light on those three weeks. "A poignant reminder of our capacity for grace and resilience at this moment of national peril."
“I am honored to be working again with so many talented filmmakers and the innovative teams at NEON, CNN Films, and IMAX. And very excited for audiences to experience a little-known part of history – an enduring message of hope during these unprecedented times." Summer 1969. The astronauts of Apollo 11 successfully land and walk on the moon. As the world celebrated their historic achievement, the crew’s mission would not be complete until returning safely to earth and undergoing a three-week medical quarantine. This lesser known story, of personal sacrifice and stoic resolve, offers a poignant reminder of our capacity for grace and resilience at this moment of national peril.
Apollo 11: Quarantine is directed by Todd Douglas Miller, director of the original Apollo 11 doc, previously. CNN Films + Neon + IMAX will release Apollo 11: Quarantine exclusively in IMAX cinemas starting on January 29th, then on VOD starting February 5th
