Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesThe ability to craft a compelling, artistic, and evocative documentary film is a true filmmaker's test and one that British director Peter Middleton has totally aced with his latest project now streaming on Netflix titled 'Apollo 13: Survival.
"This was the stuff of sci-fi comics and to have access to all that material, we sensed that we had to give it the scope to make something that was more experiential, that could immerse the audience in the unfolding drama of that crisis," he notes."That was our ambition, to try and put the audience in the cockpit. Experiencing it as Lovell, Haise and Swigert.
To keep the narrative momentum flowing, Middleton and his crew wisely steered away from including talking heads or recording any new material with their contributors or protagonists in the film. His vision was to try and find only archival sources for as close to the time period as possible, all in the service of hoping to create that sense of putting viewers in the moment.
"And for one minute and twenty-six seconds there's this horrible moment where they should have reestablished radio communication, and they haven't. NASA had sent camera crews out around the world to record people watching that moment and you see it writ large on their faces. Ordinary people on the streets huddled around televisions and radios, just tuned in for this incredible nail-biting moment.
