CBC Passionate Eye : Dark Side of the Moon

This was a mockumentary which aired in 2003.

It shows evidence that the whole moon landing that aired on tv, was actually done in a studio. They wanted it to be a Holywood type production and didn't have the technology to produce live pics from the moon at that time.

Keep in mind that the statements of Haig, Kissinger, Rumsfeld, and others is being taken out of context to show how people can be made look bad by their statements.

There is much evidence in this documentary that points toward the fact it was staged. Whether they actually went to the moon is another story. John Leer says no way.

How could the flag flutter when there's no wind on the moon? During an interview with Stanley Kubrick's widow an extraordinary story came to light. She claims Kubrick and other Hollywood producers were recruited to help the U.S. win the high stakes race to the moon. In order to finance the space program through public funds, the U.S. government needed huge popular support, and that meant they couldn't afford any expensive public relations failures. Fearing that no live pictures could be transmitted from the first moon landing, President Nixon enlisted the creative efforts of Kubrick, whose 2001: a Space Odyssey (1968) had provided much inspiration, to ensure promotional opportunities wouldn't be missed. In return, Kubrick got a special NASA lens to help him shoot Barry Lyndon (1975). A subtle blend of facts, fiction and hypothesis around the first landing on the moon, Dark Side Of The Moon illustrates how the truth can be twisted by the manipulation of images.

With use of 'hijacked' archival footage, false documents, real interviews taken out of context or transformed through voice-over or dubbing, staged interviews, as well as, interviews with astronauts like Buzz Aldrin and others, Dark Side Of The Moon navigates the viewer through lies and truth; fact and fiction. This is no ordinary documentary. Its intent is to inform and entertain the viewer, but also to shake him up - make him aware that one should always view television with a critical eye.

I remember this doco well. I was quite surprised from Kissinger's and Rumfelds appearance.

I also love how they cover it by labeling the film as a mockumentary, more than a hoax me thinks.

i think this was shown down here on SBS a couple of times.

This is an even better documentary. It makes these "moonwalkers" look pretty silly.

I just finished watching this. I used to think Mitchell and Aldrin were telling the truth. Not any more. These guys aren't astronauts they are paid actors of the CIA. No question.

Can you say assault charges pending.


These actors get so upset they actually take a swing at the interviewer.
