Dramatic, moving and deeply human, Armstrong offers the definitive life story of Neil Armstrong: from his childhood in Ohio to his first steps on the Moon in 1969, and beyond. Armstrong is directed by veteran documentary editor / filmmaker David Fairhead, director of the doc films Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo and Spitfire previously, as well as lots of TV work including editing episodes of “Nova” and “Moon Machines”, and other docs. It’s produced by Gareth Dodds and Keith Haviland. The film was made with the cooperation of the Armstrong family, including his sons Rick and Mark Armstrong. This hasn’t premiered at any film festivals or elsewhere yet, as far as we know. Gravitas Ventures will release Fairhead’s Armstrong doco in select theaters + on VOD starting July 12th this summer.
