In In The Shadow Of The Moon, director David Sington utilises a narrator-less structure which intercuts stock footage with insightful commentary from the surviving astronauts who walked on the moon. There are no experts, no voiceovers, and no recreations; it's a style that recalls the work of Errol Morris. While the space shots and behind-the-scenes footage of NASA operations are fascinating, the astronauts - including Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott and Alan Bean - are a revelation.

Variously witty, heartfelt, modest and humbled when discussing their journeys into space, it's easy to understand why these men were heroes to a generation. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of the documentary is the way in which the viewer is reminded of how genuinely stunning the Apollo mission was - not only for the United States, but for the whole world.

One need not be reminded that 1969 was a tumultuous year for Earth, and that Neil Armstrong's famous one small step for man literally united the planet, giving true credence to the latter half of his famous statement. The Shadow Of The Moon recreates that moon-landing moment, without a shred of excess patriotism, pretence or sentiment.
