“Chasing the Moon” thoroughly reimagines the race to the moon for a new generation, upending much of the conventional mythology surrounding the effort. “When we think of that breathtaking moment of the 1969 moon landing, we forget what a turbulent time that was,” said Mark Samels, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE executive producer.

The event is free of charge and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served, courtesy of the Friends of the Library of Hernando County, Inc.

The full film will premiere Monday, July 8 – Wednesday, July 10 from 9 – 11 p.m. ET on WEDU PBS. It will also be available for simultaneous online streaming at www.pbs.org.
