50 years ago today, Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy. NASA allowed a film crew at the launch, documenting everything, from its preparation to mission control to the faces of the crowds witnessing the historic moment. All these pieces came together in a documentary film called Moonwalk One . David Resha, assistant professor of film studies at Emory University's Oxford College, joined On Second Thought to discuss the cinematic elements of Moonwalk One, and why it didn't blast off at the box office.
