The film also includes footage that captures the essence of the world's reaction to Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, when he uttered the immortal phrase "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Although footage from the film has been seen by countless people over the past forty years, "Moonwalk One" was shown in its entirety only a few times during the early 1970s. Director Theo Kamecke hopes enough time has gone by that the subject will be fresh and interesting to an entirely new generation.
"Moonwalk One" will be available on DVD starting on June 21, 2009.
