When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the surface of the moon on July 20th 1969, the world was suddenly split between those that believed in the Apollo landings and those that didn’t. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, ‘Moon Landings: Greatest Hoax?’ examines the most famous conspiracy theories behind the 1969 Apollo programme that saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk in the moon…or did they? An astonishing number of the public still believe the 1969 moon landings were an elaborate hoax designed to trump Russia in the space race. Taking a fresh look at new scientific evidence and questions raised through technological advancements and featuring new and archive interviews with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and former NASA engineer Pat Norris, the film sets out to answer the question: did the Apollo astronauts really land on the moon?
