About Apollo 17: On the Shoulders of Giants (1973)

Apollo was NASA's program to land astronauts on the Moon, which it did six times between 1969 and 1972. NASA produced a documentary on each mission from the astronauts' own film and the agency's cameras; as U.S. government works they are in the public domain.

A 1973 documentary about the Apollo 17 mission to the moon during December 1972. Produced by A-V Corporation for NASA. The film was distributed both as an ephemeral film (shown to an audience via a 16mm film projector), and was also shown on TV (and was shown on both public and commercial stations per a search of vintage newspapers).
