| IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON Complimentary Advance Screening for COSI Members Tuesday, August 14, 2007 | 7pm at the Arena Grand Theater COSI Members are invited to the Arena Grand Theater for a sneak preview of the full-length film, In the Shadow of the Moon presented by Ron Howard. Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. This riveting first-hand testimony is interwoven with visually stunning archival material which has been re-mastered from the original NASA film footage – much of it never used before. The result is an intimate epic that vividly communicates the daring, the danger, the pride, and the promise of this extraordinary era in history when the whole world literally looked up at America. (Film Rating: PG) Space is limited. Advance reservations are required by calling COSI at 614.228.COSI. |
