Al Reinert’s documentary is the story of the 24 men who traveled to the moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences.

Sorting through nearly one hundred hours of film and sound recordings recovered from NASA, director Al Reinert created this documentary on the Apollo program of the 1960s and '70s, commemorating man's landing on the moon. The film is a montage of images with voice-over interviews and commentary from the participating astronauts. Brian Eno, famous for his ethereal music, provides the score. For All Mankind was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1990.
