"Neil was quiet and poised..." Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for a new documentary titled Armstrong, arriving in theaters this July a few weeks before the 50th anniversary of the July 1969 landing on the Moon. Add this to the list of films about the Apollo 11 landing, along with Damien Chazelle's First Man feature last year, and Todd Douglas Miller's Apollo 11 documentary this year - both of which are must see films already. This documentary features Harrison Ford narrating. Armstrong examines the life of an extraordinary figure in American history, "recounting Armstrong's near-death experiences both as a Navy fighter pilot in Korea (flying from the decks of the USS Essex aircraft carrier) and as a test pilot back on the home front... The documentary also captures the intense drama of the Gemini 8 and Apollo 11 missions as well as dizzying challenges that followed in the turbulent wake of global fame.
