The Apollo Space Program remains the greatest initiative in peacetime the world has ever seen. Behind every astronaut who set foot on the moon and every figure who inspired us was Apollo’s massive workforce:

a team of men and women over 400,000 strong––spanning race, socio-economics, culture, company and country – who came to understand that the overall Program was only as good as the effort they put in.

When We Were Apollo is an intimate and personal look at the Apollo Space Program through the lives and experiences of some of its most inspiring behind-the-scenes figures: engineers, technicians, builders and

contractors who spent almost a decade working to get us to the moon.

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the moon in July 1969, the world was suddenly split into two categories - those who believe the Apollo 11 landings... and those who don’t. We’ll

investigate both sides of this debate, since 52% of the British public believe the landings were a hoax designed to trump Russia in the space race. Here, we have the cameraman who says he shot the fake landing, plus the theory that NASA reached the moon, but published fake images - so let’s find out!

T H E C O N S P I R A C I E S :

THE SHADOWS | THE WAVING FLAG | THE STARS | THE DUST | THE RAYS

We find an answer by heading out to the California desert and recreating the moon landing, testing each competing theory against eachother. Featuring interviews with experts, conspiracy theorists, archive

material and reconstructions of the landing, we put this debate to bed once and for all!
