As part of the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, Smithsonian Associates presents a special screening of the new Smithsonian Channel documentary The Day We Walked on the Moon—taking place exactly 50 years to the day after that momentous event.
Tim Evans, executive producer at Smithsonian Channel, introduces the one-hour film, which presents a compelling chronicle of the 24 hours when humanity first stepped on the Moon, as told by the people who witnessed it.
Astronauts, members of NASA’s Mission Control, and the children of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin share their behind-the-scenes memories of the iconic day. It is a story that ranges from the deeply personal to the grand and historic, an in-depth look at one of the most important 24-hour periods in history.
This exclusive Washington, D.C., screening is one of 70 taking place at Smithsonian-affiliated museums across the United States on July 20. It’s a memorable way to mark an unforgettable event in space history.
