You need to watch this film. It’s called “For All Mankind,” and it’s a masterpiece of documentary filmmaking. It’s also an exhilarating retelling of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The film is constructed from about 6 million feet of footage (I took that from wikipedia, who said it was quoting the DVD commentary) filmed by NASA and [...]

In my last post, I updated you on the progress of my documentary “Razorwire,” which was recently pulled from “pipe dream” status back into “hopefully I can get this done before I retire” status.
