Description
Never-before-heard audio tapes recorded with Neil Armstrong during the final years of his life reveal an intimate portrait of this iconic—and famously private—man. Illustrated through previously unseen personal photographs and archival footage, this 44 minute documentary from Steve Rotfeld Productions takes viewers on an emotional journey into the thoughts and experience of the first man on the moon. Produced in partnership with the National Geographic Channel. Following the showing of this film, provided for this symposium event gratis by Steve Rotfeld, co-producer James R. Hansen, author of First Man, the only authorized biography of Neil Armstrong, will answer questions about the making of the film as well as the role the tapes themselves played for Hansen in his process of writing the Armstrong biography.
