Year: 1989 ... In a remote village, some strange creatures are patrolling around. After 5 pm, no one dares to go out. A young journalist comes to the village and stays for 10 days but nothing happens
. He gives the camera to a 14-year-old boy in the village and then he leaves. The plan was that if the boy sees something strange, he would record it for the journalist and send the tapes back to him. After a while the boy and 6 other people are found murdered, and the camera was still recording.... the news is broken. The journalist's initials are written in Arabic on the wall with blood. An army captain brought the journalist into the village for questioning. The next day the journalist is released and his belongings and all of his clothes are found in the closest forest behind the village. The journalist is missing. The captain who questioned the journalist resigned in 1990 due to mental health issues and in 2006 commits suicide with a bullet to his head. The Captains daughter found some photos, documentation and 3 video cassettes in her father's safe. She watches only 22 minutes of the images captured by the boy just before he dies. Only 22 minutes ... She can not dare to watch the rest of it. It takes her 2 years to recover from the shock. Then cursed cassettes are sold to a filmmaker...

Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. The definitive story of going to the moon, told by those who went. Between 1969 and 1972 an elite group of men achieved an incredible dream. They were, and remain, the only human beings to set foot on a planet other than our own. These personal testimonies are interwoven with digitally remastered footage from Nasa film archives, much of it previously unseen and all of it hauntingly evocative of a bygone era. The result is an intimate and epic film which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this band of special young men.
